Lauer will move to the bullpen and is expected to pitch Sunday against the Marlins, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old will shift to the bullpen Sunday with Brett Anderson (hamstring) returning from the injured list and rejoining the starting rotation. Lauer allowed six runs (two earned) on 12 hits with a 10:2 K:BB in 11 frames over two spot starts.

Lauer (1-1) allowed six runs (two earned) on eight hits and no walks while striking out seven across six innings Tuesday to take the loss against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Lauer surrendered three home runs, which accounted for five of his six earned runs. His line was spared by four unearned runs, which came after Travis Shaw misplaced a ball at third base in the the third inning. Even so, it was a concerning performance for Lauer, who allowed 1.6 HR/9 in 2020. As for this season, Lauer has a 1.64 ERA with a 10:2 K:BB across 11 innings. The Brewers pitching staff is currently decimated by injury, which could result in Lauer receiving another turn through the rotation Sunday in Miami.

Lauer is listed as the Brewers' probable starter for Tuesday's game in Philadelphia, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Heading into the upcoming week, Milwaukee remains without two members of its Opening Day rotation (Corbin Burnes and Brett Anderson), while two of the team's top options for spot starts in Josh Lindblom (knee) and Zack Godley (finger) are also on the injured list. As a result, Lauer will pick up a second start after he held his own in his season debut Thursday against the Dodgers, when he picked up the win while working five scoreless frames. He'll tentatively line up for a two-start week, with his second turn likely to come next Sunday in Miami if none of Burnes (COVID-19 IL), Anderson (hamstring), Lindblom or Godley is activated before the weekend.

Lauer (1-0) beat the Dodgers on Thursday, going five innings and permitting no runs on four hits and two walks with strikeouts in a 2-1 Brewers win.
EDGE Analysis
Making his first start of the season after Zach Godley was placed on the IL, Lauer was able to shut down the Dodgers high-powered offense before being pulled with only 73 pitches. It was an encouraging first outing after a disastrous 2020 campaign and may have earned Lauer another turn in the rotation.

Lauer was recalled from the Brewers' alternate training site and will start Thursday's game against the Dodgers, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Zack Godley (finger) landed on the injured list and Lauer will be brought up in a corresponding move to give the rest of the rotation some rest. If he holds his own, Lauer could stick around for another start next week in Philadelphia.

Lauer was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Friday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old gave up eight earned runs and had a 3:7 over five innings across three appearances in spring training, so it's hardly a surprise he didn't earn a rotation spot. Lauer figures to be in the mix for a promotion when the Brewers need a spot starter this season.

Lauer has allowed five earned runs over three innings through two appearances this spring.
EDGE Analysis
Lauer and the Brewers are hoping he will bounce back from a rough 2020 season in which he allowed 16 earned runs over 11 innings, but he has not shown any signs of a turnaround early on. He will have a few more opportunities to right the ship, but the Brewers can still option him, so he is going to have to show some results to avoid opening the regular season in the minors.

Lauer was optioned to the Brewers' alternate training site Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Lauer served as bullpen depth for the past few days while Freddy Peralta was on the paternity list, but he'll be removed from the active roster once again after Peralta was reinstated in a corresponding move. Lauer allowed three runs on two hits and three walks while striking out two over 1.2 innings Friday.
