Lauer (5-5) earned the win Tuesday over Philadelphia. He allowed just four hits and a walk with five strikeouts across seven shutout innings.

EDGE Analysis

September is treating Lauer well so far, as he's allowed just one run, seven hits and two walks across 14 innings in his two starts this month. Philadelphia couldn't get a runner past second base on the southpaw's watch Tuesday. With the stellar start, Lauer lowered his ERA to 3.18 with a 1.18 WHIP and 91:33 K:BB through 96.1 innings this season. He'll look to keep rolling next week in Detroit.

Lauer allowed one run on three hits and a walk over seven innings in Thursday's no-decision against the Giants. He had four strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

Lauer put together his longest start of the season, going seven full innings for the first time since June 2019. After giving up a leadoff homer to Austin Slater to start the game, followed by a Darin Ruf walk three batters later, Lauer yielded just one baserunner the rest of the way, and that was the result of a Jace Peterson error. Lauer has just one win (1-2) in his last eight outings, but he's posted a 2.54 ERA during that stretch.

Lauer (4-5) yielded two runs on six hits and two walks over 4.2 innings Friday, striking out six and taking a loss against Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Lauer coughed up a two-run homer to Josh Donaldson in the first inning but avoided any further damage. He needed 102 pitches (63 strikes) to get through 4.2 frames and has now failed to finish five innings in three straight starts. The 26-year-old's ERA is now up to 3.61 through 82.1 innings. Lauer is lined up to face the Giants on the road next week.

Lauer didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 9-6 win over the Nationals, giving up three runs on five hits and three walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander gave up two runs in the top of the first inning before exiting the game in the fifth after 76 pitches (52 strikes) on the hook for his fifth loss of the season, but Milwaukee's offense bailed Lauer out with three runs in the bottom of the frame. The 26-year-old will take a 3.59 ERA and 76:29 K:BB through 77.2 innings into his next outing.

Lauer allowed one run on three hits and struck out six across four innings in a no-decision versus Pittsburgh on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

After missing a week and a half on the COVID-19 injured list, Lauer's return to action was fairly short. He threw 49 of 72 pitches for strikes before Brent Suter relieved him. Lauer continues to have the upper hand over the Pirates, as he's allowed just three runs in 18.1 innings in four appearances versus the Brewers' NL Central rivals. The southpaw owns a 3.44 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 73:26 K:BB across 73.1 innings overall. He's projected to make his next start versus Washington next weekend.

The Brewers reinstated Lauer from the COVID-19 injured list ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Milwaukee optioned reliever Justin Topa to Triple-A Nashville and transferred reliever John Curtiss (elbow) from the 10-day IL to the 60-day IL to clear room for Lauer on the 26-man active roster and 40-man roster. Lauer, who was sidelined for a week and a half after testing positive for the virus, owns a 3.50 ERA and 1.24 WHIP in 69.1 innings across his 15 outings (11 starts) this season.

Lauer will start Sunday's game against the Pirates, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He has not started a game since Aug. 2 due to COVID-19 protocols. Three of his last five starts have come against the Pirates, and he has logged a 1.78 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 20 strikeouts in 25.1 innings while facing mostly poor offenses over that five-start stretch.

EDGE Analysis

He is a strong candidate to start Saturday's game against the Pirates. Three of his last five starts have come against the Pirates, and he has logged a 1.78 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 20 strikeouts in 25.1 innings while facing mostly poor offenses over that five-start stretch.

The Brewers placed Lauer on the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday after he was revealed to have tested positive for the virus.

EDGE Analysis

Lauer is the seventh player in the organization to land on the COVID-19 IL as a result of the team's recent outbreak in positive test results. In a corresponding move, the Brewers activated waiver pickup Sal Romano, who will provide some length out of the bullpen in the short term.

Lauer has tested positive for COVID-19, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lauer is the seventh player for the Brewers to land on the COVID-19 IL during the team's recent outbreak. The southpaw was tentatively scheduled to make his next start Monday against the Cubs, but the team hasn't announced who will take his place in the rotation. The 26-year-old will be away from the team until he tests negative and clears the league's health and safety protocols.
