Career

Miami Marlins

Lazo played in the Cuban National Series for the Vegueros de Pinar del Rio in 2008 and 2009. In 2011, he defected from Cuba to the United States to pursue an MLB career.[1] He signed with the Miami Marlins.

Lazo was called up to the majors for the first time on September 2, 2015.[2] He was released on May 16, 2017. [3]

Baltimore Orioles

On June 26, 2017, Lazo signed a minor league deal with the Baltimore Orioles.[4] He elected free agency on November 6, 2017.

Saraperos de Saltillo

On March 6, 2019, Lazo signed with the Saraperos de Saltillo of the Mexican League. He was released on April 25, 2019.

Sioux City Explorers

On December 9, 2019, Lazo signed with the Sioux City Explorers of the independent American Association. However, the team was not selected by the league to compete in the condensed 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Lazo was not chosen by another team in the dispersal draft, and therefore became a free agent.
