Eric Lauer has an opportunity to return to the Toronto Blue Jays' rotation as a starter due to José Berríos' injury and roster depth concerns.
Promoted shortly after the All-Star Break, he logged 45 2/3 innings. He started four of his 16 appearances and pitched to a 2.76 earned run average. Melton fanned 20% of batters faced against a league average 8.3% walk rate. He performed well enough to earn a spot on Detroit's playoff roster, though he surrendered five runs across 8 1/3 frames.
