context_page_description: Lance Robert Cormier is an American former professional baseball pitcher. He played in Major League Baseball for the Tampa Bay Rays, Atlanta Braves, Arizona Diamondbacks, Baltimore Orioles, and Los Angeles Dodgers.
context_section_description: On December 7, 2005, Cormier was traded to the Atlanta Braves along with pitcher Óscar Villarreal for catcher Johnny Estrada. He made his first appearance for the Braves on April 3, 2006. After being demoted to the Richmond Braves on August 21, Cormier was called back up to the big league team four days later on August 25.
  Cormier suffered an injury during spring training 2007 which kept him out for the season's first two months. In his season debut, he allowed 8 earned runs in only 4 innings against the Chicago Cubs. In his next start, he allowed 5 earned runs again against the Cubs. It was obvious that he needed more rehab, and was sent down to Triple-A Richmond. After pitching a complete game shutout in Richmond, Cormier was called up on August 2. He allowed 2 earned runs in relief against the Colorado Rockies on August 3. On August 11, his first start since June 3, Cormier allowed 4 runs in 4 innings and left with a no-decision. He earned his first win of the 2007 season on August 27 allowing 2 runs in 7 innings pitched. He won consecutive starts for the first time in his career one start later against the Philadelphia Phillies. He finished the season a disappointing 2-6 with a 7.09 ERA.
  Cormier was designated for assignment on November 30, 2007, to make room for Tom Glavine. Consequently, he was released on December 7, 2007.
