The Toronto Blue Jays announce this afternoon that they have decided to DFA another pitcher this time Casey Lawrence.
The Blue Jays acquired Lawrence from the Settle Mariners as he was on waivers less than two days ago and he is now being DFA'd after a brutal performance against the Boston Red Sox last night.
The Blue Jays have DFA'd pitcher Casey Lawrence
The Blue Jays claimed Lawrence off waivers from the Mariners on April 28th for a third stint with the team, his last being in 2022 but it looks like he did not even last 48 hours.

Toronto decided to call up Eric Lauer from the Buffalo Bisons this afternoon and consequently DFA'd Lawrence to make room which means he is once again done in Toronto.

This is not a big surprise since Lawrence went into last night's game against the Red Sox and gave up 6 hits and 3 earned runs in 2.2 innings pitched while striking out only 1 batter.
After this short stint in Toronto the chances of Lawrence being claimed off waivers once again by another team or landing another contract if he becomes a free agent once again are very slim.
