Shaky in return
Lawrence allowed two earned runs on two hits and one walk while striking out two across 1.1 innings Monday against the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence was activated from the injured list Monday after missing around three weeks with a shoulder injury. He recorded the final out in the eighth inning without issue, but he then allowed the first two batters of the ninth frame to reach base -- leading to his two earned runs. Lawrence was projected to be Colorado's primary closer entering the season, but he has only two saves and two holds while struggling to a 6.35 ERA and 1.85 WHIP in 21 appearances.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Lawrence's trend of throwing more sweepers continued in 2023, as it's his most successful offering. The 29-year-old held opposing hitters to a .149 batting average and .236 slugging percentage on his sweeper, while 63 of his 78 total strikeouts came on the pitch. In fact, it was the 2nd-best sweeper in the league according to Statcast Run Value (14). On the flip side, Lawrence's mid-90's sinker yielded plenty of contact (.333 BA), with many balls in play hit on the ground (48.5%). Still, Lawrence was reliable enough in the late innings to take over Colorado's closing duties in June. He maintained the role for a little over two months, racking up a career-high 11 saves that were 2nd-most on the team. A rough August (8.31 ERA, 3 BS) relegated Lawrence back to the 7th and 8th innings, but he's a good bet to see save chances again sometime in 2024 as one of the Rockies' best relief pitchers.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be dealt this winter
The Rockies are willing to listen to trade offers for Lawrence, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence's 6.49 ERA in 2024 was among the worst in baseball and his 45:33 K:BB over 59.2 frames wasn't pretty, either. However, the reliever's sweeper can be a nasty pitch and it's possible teams would be bullish on how he could fare away from Coors Field. Lawrence, who turns 30 later this month, is under team control through 2028.
