Lauer did not factor into the decision against Tampa Bay on Tuesday, completing five innings and giving up three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four.
EDGE Analysis
Lauer was shaky early, giving up single runs in the first two innings, but settled down to allow only one more tally the rest of the way. He exited the game staked to a one-run lead but was denied a victory when the San Diego bullpen allowed four runs over the final four frames. Lauer now owns a 4.55 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in 114.2 innings this season and will head to Cincinnati to face the Reds on Monday in his next scheduled start.

Lauer (6-8) earned the win Friday after holding the Dodgers to two runs on three hits while striking out six over six innings.
EDGE Analysis
Lauer's only blemish of the night came in the form of a two-run home run off the bat of Cody Bellinger. Otherwise, the left-hander quieted a volatile Dodgers lineup without issuing any free passes. The 24-year-old has pitched to the tune of a 4.43 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 87:31 K:BB over 21 appearances this season. He'll take the hill next for a Thursday matchup against the Rockies.

Lauer is slated to make his next start Friday against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Lauer had been ahead of Joey Lucchesi in the pitching schedule, but the two will switch spots after the former worked in relief Sunday against the Giants. The change won't mean much for fantasy purposes, as Lucchesi will get the ball for the series opener with the Dodgers while Lauer also draws the same opponent. Lauer only tossed 14 pitches in the relief appearance over the weekend, so he shouldn't face any workload restrictions either while returning to the mound on his normal four days' rest.

Lauer (5-8) allowed four runs on six hits with three walks and a strikeout across 2.1 innings while taking a loss against the Mets on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old gave up four runs in the first and that was it for the rest of the game from both offenses. Lauer faced 13 batters through the first two frames, and then when the Mets had first and third with one out during the third, the Padres went to the bullpen. Lauer has lost four straight decisions and hasn't won a game since June 3. He owns a 4.58 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 80 strikeouts in 98.1 innings this season. Lauer will look to break his losing streak against the lowly Orioles at home Tuesday.

Lauer allowed five runs on six hits with three walks and seven strikeouts across 4.2 innings during a no-decision against the Cubs on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Two home runs, including a grand slam, was Lauer's undoing Friday afternoon. Lauer had allowed just three homers in his last 10 appearances, of course, that hasn't helped him win many games. This was his third straight no-decision, and sixth consecutive start without a win. He avoided a loss Friday because of the Padres offense, but Lauer is 5-7 with a 4.31 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 79 strikeouts in 96 innings this season. His next start is scheduled to come at the Mets on Thursday.

Lauer (personal) was reinstated from the bereavement list Wednesday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lauer is back with the big club after spending five days on the bereavement list. The southpaw is scheduled to return to the rotation Friday against the Cubs. Robbie Erlin was optioned to the minors to free up a roster spot for Lauer.

Lauer was placed on the bereavement list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
He needs to miss a minimum of three games, but can still take the ball on turn July 16 in Miami, so this won't affect his fantasy value.

Lauer did not factor into the decision during Friday's win at Dodger Stadium, allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits and a walk while striking out six over six innings.
EDGE Analysis
Despite a 6.9 earthquake rattling the stadium, Lauer calmly delivered two strikes to Enrique Hernandez and got him to fly out. Overall, it was a strong outing for the 24-year-old, who improves to 4-0 against the Dodgers in five career starts. Lauer now sports a 4.04 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 72:25 K:BB over 17 appearances this season.

Lauer did not factor into the decision during Friday's win over the Cardinals, surrendering one run on six hits and a walk while striking out three over four innings.
EDGE Analysis
Despite holding the Cardinals to one run, it took Lauer 98 pitches to get through four innings. The southpaw just didn't have his best stuff. He retired the top of the lineup in the first inning but loaded the bases with consecutive hits in the second. Lauer then recorded two outs but allowed a single to Tommy Edman to give the Cardinals a 1-0 lead. On the bright side, the 24-year-old has only allowed one home run in June. Lauer now owns a 4.22 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 66:24 K:BB. He'll look to bounce back in a more favorable matchup against the Giants on Wednesday.

Lauer (5-7) allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits with one walk and four strikeouts while taking a loss against the Pirates on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The left-hander pitched well against the Pirates for the second time this season, but an unearned run in the seventh helped hand him the loss. That's three straight losses for Lauer, but at least he did pitch much better in this outing than his last two. He is 5-7 with a 4.32 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 63 strikeouts in 81.1 innings this season. His next start is scheduled against the Cardinals at home Friday.
