Mariners' Casey Lawrence: Excels in bulk relief
Rotowire
Lawrence (1-2) took the loss Tuesday against the White Sox after allowing one run on six hits and no walks while striking out two in five innings.
Lawrence made his season debut with the Mariners after inking a minor-league contract with the club earlier this month, and he gave them five strong innings as a bulk reliever. The White Sox scratched a run across in the third inning and that proved to be the difference after the Mariners were shut out by Adrian Houser and the bullpen. Five innings tied for Lawrence's longest outing this season and he now has a 4.08 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 7:1 K:BB in 17.2 innings this season.

Lawrence was cast off Toronto's 40-man roster Wednesday, already marking the fourth time he's been designated for assignment this season.

Blue Jays' Casey Lawrence: Returning to Toronto
Rotowire
The Blue Jays claimed Lawrence off waivers from the Mariners on Monday.
Toronto has plenty of familiarity with Lawrence, a 37-year-old journeyman who signed with the Blue Jays as an undrafted free agent in 2010 before he reached the big leagues for the first time in 2017. Before being designated for assignment by Seattle over the weekend, Lawrence had filled a swingman role in the majors and at Triple-A Tacoma, making four relief appearances for the big club and two starts in the minors. Since he has no minor-league options remaining, Lawrence will join Toronto ahead of its three-game series with the Red Sox that begins Tuesday, but it's not immediately clear whether he'll work out of the bullpen or slot into the rotation. The Blue Jays have a starting spot open for Wednesday after demoting Easton Lucas, who had been filling in for the injured Max Scherzer (thumb).
