Baltimore Orioles outfielder Ramon Laureano continued his strong offensive season in Monday's 10-6 extra-inning win over the Rangers. Laureano went 4-for-6 with a single, three doubles, an RBI, and a strikeout. The 30-year-old has quietly put together a solid season with regular playing time for an underperforming O's squad, slashing .287/.358/.538 with 10 home runs, 27 RBI, and three stolen bases in 193 plate appearances. He is currently rostered in just 10 percent of leagues, meaning he is available in plenty of deep leagues for fantasy managers in need of a boost to their lineups.

The Baltimore Orioles announced on Friday that they reinstated outfielder Ramon Laureano (ankle) from the 10-day injured list and designated outfielder Jordyn Adams for assignment in a corresponding move. The club also acquired right-hander Scott Blewett from the Atlanta Braves in exchange for cash considerations. Laureano is serving as the designated hitter and is batting third in Friday's series opener against the Athletics and left-hander JP Sears. The 30-year-old Dominican has been decent as outfield depth for the O's this year and will return to a .266/.320/.532 slash line with an .852 OPS, six homers and 11 RBI in his 36 games played. With both Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) and Cedric Mullins (hamstring) on the IL, Laureano should return to regular playing time. Laureano provides outfield depth for those in AL-only fantasy leagues.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Ramon Laureano (ankle) is set to begin his rehab assignment Wednesday with Triple-A Norfolk. The 30-year-old has been sidelined since spraining his ankle in a May 20 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers and is targeting a return in early June. His injury came during a rough stretch for the Orioles, who also lost key names like Ryan Mountcastle (hamstring), Cedric Mullins (hamstring), and Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) to the injured list. Before going down, Laureano slashed .266/.320/.532 with six home runs, 11 RBI, and two stolen bases across 103 plate appearances. The Orioles hope his return helps stabilize a lineup missing several key contributors.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Ramon Laureano (ankle) is hitting in the batting cage on Monday before the series opener at Camden Yards against the visiting St. Louis Cardinals. Laureano recently went on the 10-day injured list with a left-ankle sprain, but he's already swinging the bat and could have a minimal stay on the IL. The 30-year-old veteran Dominican has been a solid part-time contributor in the outfield in his first year in Baltimore, slashing .266/.320/.532 with an .852 OPS, six home runs, 11 RBI, 13 runs scored and two stolen bases. However, it remains to be seen how much playing time he'll get the rest of the season once the team's outfield gets healthier. Colton Cowser (thumb) and Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) are currently on the IL as well, which had opened up regular playing time for Laureano before he went on the shelf himself.

The Baltimore Orioles have placed outfielder Ramon Laureano (ankle) on the 10-day injured list with a left ankle sprain. The 30-year-old sustained this injury during Tuesday's contest. He was viewed day-to-day throughout the week, but the Orioles will instead opt to have him shift to the injured list. Before his injury, Laureano was swinging a hot bat, posting a .414/.469/.690 slash line with two doubles, two home runs, and one stolen base over his last nine contests. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progress as the 30-year-old could be in danger of missing longer than the minimum stay. While he remains sidelined, this should open up opportunities in left field for Heston Kjerstad, Dylan Carlson, and Terrin Vavra. Laureano is worth holding in deeper AL-only leagues as he should have close to an everyday role when he returns.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Ramon Laureano (ankle) remains on the bench for Game 1 of a doubleheader on Saturday at Fenway Park against the division-rival Boston Red Sox. Heston Kjerstad will start in right field and hit eighth against Red Sox right-hander Hunter Dobbins. Laureano has not played since injuring his left ankle back on Tuesday, and if he's unable to return at all this weekend in Beantown, he could be a candidate to go on the 10-day injured list to give his ankle more time to heal. The 30-year-old Dominican outfielder hasn't been a bad option for outfield depth in deep fantasy league so far this year, slashing .266/.320/.532 with an .852 OPS, six home runs, 11 RBI, 13 runs scored and two stolen bases. Kjerstad makes for a low-upside DFS sleeper on Saturday in Game 1, as he's just over the Mendoza Line on the year with four homers and 15 RBI in 122 at-bats

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Ramon Laureano (ankle) is sitting out for the first game of Friday's doubleheader with the Boston Red Sox. The 30-year-old tweaked his ankle in Baltimore's outing with the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday and has yet to appear in a game since. It seemed that he was heating up, too, notching three multi-hit efforts over the last four games before the injury. Teammate Heston Kjerstad is occupying right field for the matinee, batting eighth for the club. Initial reports indicated that Laureano's injury was not serious, described as "very mild and minor," and he was expected to return in a few days. He may suit up for the second game on Friday, though that isn't a guarantee.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Ramon Laureano (ankle) left Tuesday's game early against the Milwaukee Brewers with left-ankle discomfort, according to The Baltimore Banner's Andy Kostka. Laureano's body contorted oddly while attempting to get to a ball in shallow right field in the fourth inning when he appeared to get his left foot caught in the grass. The 30-year-old initially remained in the game before eventually being replaced in the fifth inning in right field by Dylan Carlson. Laureano went 0-for-2 at the plate with a strikeout before being pulled. He will most certainly go for testing on his ankle, but until we know more, fantasy managers in AL-only leagues should consider Laureano day-to-day. The Dominican outfielder has been decent for the O's as a part-time outfielder this year, as he entered the day hitting .272/.327/.543 with six homers, 11 RBI, 13 runs and two steals in 92 at-bats.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Ramon Laureano is on the bench for the team's game on Sunday against the visiting Kansas City Royals at Camden Yards. Catcher Adley Rutschman is serving as the designated hitter and is batting third, while Ryan O'Hearn is in right field and hitting cleanup for the O's against Royals right-hander Michael Lorenzen. Laureano will take a seat after starting each of the team's last six games. The 30-year-old veteran Dominican probably is going to need to pick things up at the plate to stay in the lineup consistently, as he enters Sunday's action hitting just .189/.241/.415 with a .656 OPS, three home runs, six RBI, four runs scored and one stolen base in 53 at-bats. When Colton Cowser (thumb) and Tyler O'Neill (neck) return from the injured list, Laureano will be relegated to a bench role in Baltimore.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Ramon Laureano came into Saturday's game after Heston Kjerstad (elbow) was forced to exit this contest. He wasted little time making an impact as he homered in the third inning off right-hander Hunter Greene. Laureano went deep again, smacking a 432-foot home run off Carson Spiers in the seventh inning. The 30-year-old hasn't done much as a part-time player this season. However, Laureano could see a bigger role going forward if Kjerstad is forced to miss time. Fantasy managers should stay tuned for update on Kjerstad's injury. Laureano might be able to offer some deep league value if he gets moved into the starting lineup.

Free-agent outfielder Ramon Laureano agreed with the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday on a one-year, $4 million deal, sources told The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal. Laureano became a free agent when the Atlanta Braves non-tendered him back in November. The 30-year-old veteran outfielder began the 2024 campaign with the Cleveland Guardians before being cut after hitting .143 with a homer and 32 strikeouts in 31 games played. He was much better in 67 regular-season games in Atlanta, slashing .296/.327/.505 with an .832 OPS, 10 homers, 29 RBI and five steals in 226 plate appearances. Laureano's career-high 12.6% barrel rate was the primary reason for his resurgence with the Braves, but he still struck out over 30% of the time. In Baltimore, he'll join a crowded outfield picture that includes Colton Cowser, Cedric Mullins, Tyler O'Neill, Heston Kjerstad and Dylan Carlson.

The Atlanta Braves have declined to tender Ramon Laureano's contract, which will make him a free agent. The Braves signed the veteran outfielder to their roster in late May after the Cleveland Guardians released him. Through 67 games in Atlanta, Laureano posted a solid .296/.327/.505 line with 13 doubles, ten home runs, 29 RBI, and five stolen bases. Earlier in the summer with Cleveland, Laureano held a mere .143/.265/.229 line in a 31-game stint. Under the hood, he generated a strong 12.6% barrel rate and an above-average 40.8% hard-hit rate. Given his strong play towards the end of the season, the 30-year-old will likely find a suitor and could be worth a look in deep 5-outfielder leagues if he has a full-time role out of Spring Training.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ramon Laureano (heel) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The veteran outfielder was pulled from Saturday's contest due to right heel soreness. Laureano has a wrap on his foot, so the severity of the issue is unknown right now. For now, fantasy managers should consider Laureano as day-to-day. Eli White will cover center field and bat ninth versus left-hander Kyle Freeland.

The Atlanta Braves reinstated outfielder Ramon Laureano (oblique) from the 10-day injured list on Friday. Despite missing more than three weeks with a left-oblique strain, Laureano will return to the Braves without going on a minor-league rehab assignment. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues will need to check back later to see if Laureano is in the starting lineup for the start of the second half of the season on Friday against the visiting St. Louis Cardinals and right-hander Sonny Gray. The Braves still need all the help they can get in the outfield with Ronald Acuna Jr. (knee) out for the year and Michael Harris II (hamstring) not expected to return until August. Laureano will likely split playing time in right field with the struggling Adam Duvall now that he's back. Laureano has gone just 19-for-105 (.181) with two homers, eight RBI and three stolen bases this year with Atlanta and Cleveland.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ramon Laureano (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. The veteran outfielder has been dealing with a lingering oblique issue for multiple weeks. He missed the last 12 games before the Braves decided to give him some time to rest. The expectation is that he'll return shortly after the All-Star break. In a corresponding move, infielder Brian Anderson (illness) has been activated from the injured list. The 31-year-old isn't much of a fantasy asset and is hitless in his five at-bats this season.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ramon Laureano (oblique) remains out of the starting lineup on Sunday as the team takes on the visiting division-rival Philadelphia Phillies. It's a bit surprising that the Braves haven't put Laureano on the 10-day injured list yet, as he hasn't played since June 26 due to a sore oblique. The Braves are short on outfield depth with Ronald Acuna Jr. (knee) out for the season and Michael Harris II (hamstring) currently on the injured list, which is why they signed veteran Eddie Rosario this week. Laureano's injury has meant regular playing time for right-handed slugger Adam Duvall, who is once again starting in right field and batting seventh on Sunday against Phillies rookie right-hander Michael Mercado, who will be making just his second MLB start. If Laureano isn't ready to play in Monday's series opener against the D-backs, he'll likely go on the IL.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ramon Laureano (back, oblique) is now a candidate to land on the injured list after his back pain has moved toward his oblique. It's coming up on a week now since Laureano last appeared in a game for the Braves, and he'll likely be out through the All-Star break in mid-July if he lands on the shelf. With Ronald Acuna Jr. (knee) out for the season and center fielder Michael Harris II (hamstring) also on the injured list, the Braves signed the 29-year-old veteran for extra outfield depth. He's gone 9-for-35 (.257) with a homer and four RBI in his short stint with the Braves but is hitting .181 (19-for-105) overall in 2024 after beginning the 2024 season with the Cleveland Guardians. With Laureano out, Adam Duvall has seen more regular playing time for the Braves in right field.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ramon Laureano (back) has been dealing with a sore back and will not play until at least Tuesday, when the Braves open a series against the San Francisco Giants, according to manager Brian Snitker. Laureano was out of the lineup for the series opener last Friday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Since joining the Braves when Michael Harris II (hamstring) landed on the injured list, Laureano has gone 9-for-35 (.257) with a home run, four doubles and four RBI in a part-time role. The 29-year-old last played on Wednesday. "He's not capable (of playing yet)," Snitker said Saturday. "We won't probably use him off the bench. We'll shoot for Tuesday, with tomorrow and the day off. There is enough still going on that I'm hoping with these extra days we can get him built up."

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ramon Laureano (back) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 29-year-old is dealing with back soreness, but is hopeful to get back on the field on Saturday. In the meantime, Luke Williams will draw the start in left field and bat ninth versus southpaw Martin Perez. Fantasy managers will need to check back on Saturday for another update on Laureano.

Free-agent outfielder Ramon Laureano signed a minor-league deal with the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday. The Braves are adding some outfield depth with Ronald Acuna Jr. (knee) out for the season with a torn ACL. The 29-year-old Laureano will most likely be assigned to Triple-A Gwinnett and will be major-league bench depth, at best, if he gets called up to Atlanta eventually. Both Jarred Kelenic and Adam Duvall will see more playing time with Acuna out for the remainder of the season. Laureano, formerly a 16th-round pick by the Houston Astros in 2014 out of Northeastern Oklahoma A&M, has hit the 20-homer mark once in his previous six MLB seasons (back in 2019 with the A's) and has struggled to find a regular role since leaving Oakland. In 31 games with the Guardians this year before becoming a free agent, he went 10-for-70 (.143) with a homer and four RBI.
