Lauer is dealing with a fingernail issue, but manager Craig Counsell said the lefty will be ready to start Wednesday against the Royals, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Lauer swapped spots in the Brewers' second-half pitching schedule with Brett Anderson, who will get the nod Tuesday. The issue doesn't sound like it's particularly serious, so the Brewers will keep Lauer in the pitching schedule with the hope that he can continues his form from his final three starts before the All-Star break. During that stretch, Lauer allowed just two runs in 18.1 innings.
