"The Los Angeles Dodgers activated Eric Lauer and optioned Wyatt Mills to Triple-A Oklahoma City ahead of their second game against the San Diego Padres on Tuesday. Mills made four appearances for the Dodgers, tossing 3.1 innings and allowing three runs since having his contract selected on May 10 as the Dodgers were searching for fresh arms. Mills has three Major League stints with the Seattle Mariners (2021-22), Kansas City Royals (2022) and Dodgers (2026), posting an 0-1 record with a 6.35 ERA in 42 games."
"He has pitched in 201 Minor League games (eight starts), recording a 24-13 record with a 3.22 ERA in 259.2 innings, while posting a 1.10 WHIP with 322 strikeouts. He previously signed a Minor League deal with the Dodgers in August 2025 and spent Spring Training with the team before being cut from the roster in March."
"The Dodgers acquired Lauer from the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for cash considerations on Sunday as they deal with multiple injuries on their pitching staff. He was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays six days before being traded to the Dodgers. He first joined the Blue Jays on a Minor League contract before the start of the 2025 season and went on to play a key role for them."
"Lauer was used as a swingman, but made it clear he preferred to start. He was given that opportunity this year due to injuries, but posted a 6.15 ERA in six starts. He also holds an 8.10 ERA in two appearances out of the bullpen. However, Lauer went 9-2 with a 3.18 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 28 games (15 starts) last season."
