Lawrence gave up six earned runs on 11 hits over 3.2 innings in Tuesday's 20-7 loss to the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Lawrence endured a rocky reintroduction to the big leagues after being summoned from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday, surrendering a pair of round trippers and giving up a season-high amount of hits. The 29-year-old is able to provide multiple innings but does pitch to contact, already having given up 11 earned runs on 23 hits over the 17.1 innings he's pitched for the Mariners since making his debut on May 18.

Lawrence was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Lawrence will rejoin the Mariners for the second time this season after a successful first stint with the big club; the 29-year-old posted a 3.29 ERA and 16:3 K:BB through 13.2 innings (five innings) earlier in the season. He'll take the spot of Emilio Pagan in the Mariners' bullpen, where he'll likely serve as a long relief option.

Lawrence was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Lawrence was heavily used this past week, most recently firing five innings Thursday against Colorado. Now that he's likely to be unavailable for a couple days, the Mariners opted to send him back to the minors in order to bring fresh arms up to Seattle. Despite the demotion, Lawrence's strong showing Thursday should help him find his way back up to the big leagues whenever more bullpen depth is needed.

Lawrence notched nine strikeouts over a five-inning stint in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Rockies, surrendering an earned run on three hits and three walks.
EDGE Analysis
On the heels of firing a solid 2.2 innings at Coors Field on Tuesday, Lawrence essentially turned in a start Thursday, totaling 86 pitches. The 29-year-old was outstanding in terms of avoiding contact, although his control issues caused his pitch count to rise quickly relative to his amount of time on the mound. Lawrence's performance was certainly a revelation, however, and given the improving but still shorthanded state of the starting rotation -- as well as Yovani Gallardo's ongoing struggles -- a spot start could certainly be a possibility in the near future.

Lawrence gave up an earned run on three hits over 2.2 innings in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Rockies. He also recorded a strikeout.
EDGE Analysis
Lawrence was pivotal in getting Seattle through the middle innings in a tough hitting environment, firing 20 of 27 pitches for strikes. The 29-year-old right-hander has given up at least one earned run in three of his four outings in a Mariners uniform, but he's also been able to provide manager Scott Servais with at least two innings in those appearances. Lawrence has also displayed excellent control, as he's yet to issue a free pass in 8.2 innings with Seattle after handing out 11 over 13.2 innings earlier this season with the Blue Jays.

Lawrence fired 1.1 scoreless innings in Sunday's 8-1 loss to the White Sox, recording one strikeout.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old right-hander had endured a rough debut in the opening game of the series against the White Sox on Thursday, giving up a pair of earned runs on four hits over two innings. Therefore, Sunday's effort was encouraging, especially considering Lawrence had arrived in Seattle with an 0-3 record and 8.78 ERA that he'd amassed over four appearances with the Blue Jays in April. Lawrence figures to see some fairly regular work for the time being considering the fatigued state of the Mariners bullpen and the injury-riddled condition of the starting rotation.

Lawrence was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Lawrence will take the roster spot of Chase De Jong, who was sent back to Tacoma after struggling as a starter. Lawrence saw some time in the majors with the Blue Jays earlier in the year, though he stumbled to a 8.78 ERA through four appearances (13.1 innings). Lawrence will be available out of the bullpen for the time being, though he also remains an option to start in place of De Jong on Sunday against the White Sox.

Lawrence was claimed off waivers by the Mariners on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
To clear room on the 40-man roster, pitcher Evan Scribner was transferred to the 60-day DL. Lawrence owned just a 8.78 ERA through 13.1 innings with the Blue Jays this season before being designated for assignment. He did post a 0.90 ERA through 10 innings with Triple-A Buffalo, though that wasn't enough for the Blue Jays to keep him rostered. He should head to Triple-A Tacoma for the time being.

Lawrence was designated for assignment Monday by the Blue Jays, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lawrence struggled to a 8.78 ERA through 13.1 innings with the Blue Jays earlier in the season before being optioned back to Triple-A. While he did much better with Buffalo, posting a 0.90 ERA through 10 innings, the Blue Jays decided to oust him from the 40-man roster to clear room for backup catcher Mike Ohlman. He'll likely head back to Buffalo if he clears waivers.

Lawrence was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old got off to rough a start with the Blue Jays to start the season, posting a 8.78 ERA and 6.35 FIP across 13.1 innings of work. He'll look to rediscover his potential effectiveness against minor-league hitters in with Triple-A Buffalo.
