Pirates transferred RHP Justin Lawrence from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.
Lawrence won’t be eligible to return from his elbow issue until the end of June. The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Tanner Rainey.
Pirates placed RHP Justin Lawrence on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation.
No word yet on how long the 30-year-old right-hander is expected to be sidelined for. Mike Burrows was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move on Thursday to take Lawrence’s place in the Pirates’ bullpen.
Pirates claimed RHP Justin Lawrence off waivers from the Rockies.
Lawrence was designated for assignment Saturday and finds a new home a couple days later. The 30-year-old was awful with a 6.49 ERA in 59 2/3 innings in 2024, but offers a middle-inning arm for the Pirates to begin the 2025 campaign.
Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports that the Rockies are designating RHP Justin Lawrence for assignment.
Lawrence was awful in 2024 with a 6.49 ERA and 1.78 WHIP while forging an ugly 45/33 K/BB over his 59 2/3 innings. Teams could have interest in Lawrence because of his previous success and hope he can rebound away from Coors Field, but it’ll all but assuredly be in a low-leverage role.
