Lauer had been with the Blue Jays for the last two seasons.
While he has struggled this season, the 30-year-old is coming off a year where he went 9-2 with a 3.18 ERA in 28 games.
The former first-round pick has also spent time with the San Diego Padres and Milwaukee Brewers over eight seasons.

Here’s what people were saying about the deal on social media:
Noah Camras: “The Dodgers are acquiring left-handed pitcher Eric Lauer. He had a 6.69 ERA with the Blue Jays before getting DFA’d this past week. However, he had a 3.18 ERA across 104.2 innings last year. He pitched 5.2 scoreless innings against the Dodgers in the World Series.”
@dodgernate: “One memory I have of this dude is him shutting the Dodgers down in extras of WS Game 3. Would’ve been Toronto’s Will Klein if the Dodgers lost that game”
@catholiclawyer: “Eric Lauer pitched 4+ shutout innings in Game 3 of the 2025 World Series. That was the 18 inning marathon the Dodgers won on Freddie Freeman’s walk-off home run.”
@iTalkStudiosYT: “Bro has a 6.69 ERA rn his ERA will be under 2 by July with the Dodgers”
@AngelenoDodgers: “Eric Lauer is a soon-to-be 31 yo LHP who was recently DFA by the Blue Jays. He is 1-5 in ’26 with 6 starts after going 9-2 in 2025 in 15 starts and 28 games. He is in his 8th season and has 46-44 career win-loss season. No doubt Dodgers are making plans for worst case scenario for Snell, Dreyer, and Diaz.”
OFFICIAL: We’ve traded LHP Eric Lauer and cash considerations to the Dodgers in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations.
Jack Harris: “Dave Roberts said Eric Lauer should be joining the Dodgers at some point this week in San Diego (they’re just working thru some travel logistics right now) He’ll be a long guy out of the bullpen once he’s activated”
@BrewersRaptor: “The Dodger killer is a Dodger”
@RobSilver: “Eric Lauer could throw 80 outstanding innings for the Dodgers this season including like 8-10 starts and it wouldn’t shock me one bit. Eric Lauer could be waived by the Dodgers this Thursday and it wouldn’t shock me one bit.”
@nicktalkingball: “Eric Lauer can’t dominate the Dodgers if he’s on the Dodgers. 😭”
