The Pirates and Lawrence avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.225 million contract Thursday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Fri, Sep 12, 2025 at 6:11 PM

The Pirates reinstated Lawrence (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Friday.

Scouting Report

Owns an ideal pitchers' frame (6-3, 220 pounds) and the ability to strike plenty of batters out in the minor leagues. Therefore, he is a candidate to close out ball games. Walks can get the better of him, and he also has a tendency to serve up home runs at critical times (which he needs to curb in order to maximize output in MLB).

Long Range Potential: Talented reliever with some upside.
