Sat Nov 18 202313:09Ramon Laureano Avoids Arbitration And Signs With Cleveland
Cleveland Guardians outfielder Ramon Laureano avoided arbitration and signed a one-year, $5.15 million deal. This is a solid deal for the veteran outfielder as he was projected to make $4.7 million, according to beat writer Paul Hoynes. Laureano struggled mightily with the A's to start 2023 but picked his game up once the Guardians claimed him off waivers after Oakland designated him for assignment. In 41 games in Cleveland, he slashed .243/.342/.382 with three home runs, 14 RBI, and four stolen bases. He projects to be the starting right fielder for Cleveland in 2024.

Sat Sep 30 202313:14Ramon Laureano Not In The Lineup On Saturday For The Guardians
Cleveland Guardians outfielder Ramon Laureano is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Detroit Tigers. This looks to just be a day off for the 29-year-old outfielder. Laureano struggled mightily with the A's to begin the season but has picked his game up since joining Cleveland in early August after Oakland designated him for assignment in early August. Overall, he's slashing .228/.308/.376 with nine home runs, 35 RBI, and 11 stolen bases over 356 at-bats. Will Brennan is starting in right field and will bat seventh against Will Vest and the Detroit Tigers.

Sun Sep 10 202310:56Ramon Laureano Hurts Thumb, Exits Saturday’s Game
Cleveland Guardians outfielder Ramon Laureano (finger) was removed from Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels due to a jammed left thumb. The 29-year-old got his glove hand caught on the right-field wall while trying to make a play on a Randal Grichuk home run. He went 0-for-2 in the 6-2 defeat before exiting and was substituted for Will Brennan. Guardians manager Terry Francona said after contest that Laureano was doing much better than it appeared when he departed, and that he should be "OK". Laureano hasn't found better luck away from the Oakland Athletics, slashing .234/.318/.362 with two home runs, 12 RBI, and 11 runs scored in 107 trips to the plate since joining Cleveland. Brennan, who's batting .417 (20-for-48) with four stolen bases in his last 15 games, should play more frequently if Laureano needs time off.

Tue Sep 5 202314:34Ramon Laureano Returning To The Bench Tuesday
Cleveland Guardians outfielder Ramon Laureano is not in the starting lineup Tuesday night versus the Minnesota Twins and right-hander Sonny Gray. The veteran collected a trio of hits, including a triple, in his club's ugly 20-6 loss to the Twins in Monday's series opener but will nonetheless hit the bench on Tuesday while Myles Straw returns to take over in center field. It's been a disappointing overall season for the former A's outfielder but Laureano has put together a palatable .256/.330/.402 slash line with two homers, one stolen base, and a 105 wRC+ in 23 games since being picked up by the Guardians. His dip in the power/speed departments is surely a disappointing result for those who took a late-round flier on Laureano on draft day.

Fri Aug 25 202318:37Ramon Laureano Added To Friday's Lineup
Cleveland Guardians outfielder Ramon Laureano was originally on the bench, but will move into Friday's starting lineup versus the Toronto Blue Jays. The right-handed slugger will play due to the fact Will Brennan (knee) has been scratched from this contest. Laureano will cover right field and bat sixth versus right-hander Chris Bassitt. Also, Oscar Gonzalez will serve as the designated hitter for this contest. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly with the Guardians making a few changes.

Mon Aug 7 202315:03Guardians Claim Ramon Laureano Off Waivers From A's
The Cleveland Guardians claimed outfielder Ramon Laureano off waivers from the Oakland Athletics on Monday. Laureano will join the Guardians after the A's designated him for assignment over the weekend. A change of scenery could be good for the 29-year-old outfielder, and he could see decent playing time in his new digs. In his 64 games for Oakland this year, Laureano was hitting just .213/.280/.364 with six home runs, 10 doubles, three triples, 21 RBI and eight stolen bases over 246 plate appearances. Fantasy managers in mixed leagues aren't suddenly going to go and pick Laureano up off the waiver wire, but the move could have good results the rest of this year in AL-only fantasy formats.

Sat Aug 5 202316:19Ramon Laureano Designated For Assignment
Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano has been designated for assignment by the organization on Saturday. It appears the rebuilding A's have decided to head in another direction without the veteran outfielder. The team reinstated outfielder Esteury Ruiz from the injured list, so he should get more at-bats with Laureano gone. Through 59 games, Laureano slashed .213/.280/.384 with six home runs, 21 RBI, and eight steals. There is a good chance that another team claims him on waivers. Laureano could at least be a fourth or fifth outfielder on a contending team.

Tue Jul 25 202320:41Ramon Laureano Reinstated From Injured List
The Oakland Athletics reinstated outfielder Ramon Laureano (hand) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday and also reinstated right-hander Angel Felipe from the paternity list. In a corresponding move, right-hander Chad Smith was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas. Laureano is now back with the A's, but he's not in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the San Francisco Giants. He hasn't played for the A's since June 21 and had only two hits in 24 at-bats with 14 strikeouts in his last eight games before landing on the injured list in June. Speed is the 29-year-old Dominican's best asset -- he has eight stolen bags this year -- but he's batting .213 (43-for-202) on the year.

Sun Jul 16 202310:44Ramon Laureano Closing In On Rehab Assignment
Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano (hand) took live batting practice on Saturday. It's the first time he's done so since being sent to the 10-day injured list with a fractured left hand retroactive to June 22. The 29-year-old could start a rehab assignment as soon as July 18, per manager Mark Kotsay. Laureano is hitting a disappointing .213 with a .635 OPS, five home runs, 17 RBI, and eight stolen bases in 202 at-bats this season. The center fielder's tantalizing power and speed potential makes him a justifiable stash in deep leagues. But Laureano's overall upside should remain limited by the weak Athletics lineup around him.

Fri Jun 23 202316:28Ramon Laureano Goes On Injured List With Fractured Hand
The Oakland Athletics placed outfielder Ramon Laureano (hand) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to June 22) on Friday with a fractured right hand and recalled outfielder Conner Capel from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move. Laureano will be eligible to return to the team on July 2 after initially injuring his hand last week, but fantasy managers should still probably not expect him back until after the All-Star break in mid-July. The 28-year-old Dominican has eight stolen bases on the year, but he's also hitting just .213 (43-for-202) with five homers, nine doubles, three triples, 17 RBI and 21 runs scored in 56 games. Laureano hasn't produced reliable counting stats with the lowly A's this year. Brent Rooker and Seth Brown will likely share playing time in right field until Laureano is back.

Mon Jun 5 202316:38Ramon Laureano Gets A Breather
Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Laureano is riding an eight-game hitting streak since May 27, so this is a well deserved day off. He is heating up at the plate after a slow start to the season. Seth Brown will cover right field and bat cleanup versus righty Johan Oviedo on Monday. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly with Laureano sidelined.

Fri Jun 2 202315:17Ramon Laureano Absent On Friday
Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Miami Marlins. This appears to be a routine rest day for Laureano, so fantasy managers don't need to panic. Seth Brown and JJ Bleday will cover the corner spots, while Esteury Ruiz plays center field versus right-hander Edward Cabrera on Friday. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly with Laureano out.

Fri May 12 202309:46Ramon Laureano Available Friday
Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano (head) has returned from concussion protocol after missing three games. The 28-year-old was available on Thursday, but manager Mark Kotsay didn't include him in the starting lineup. Laureano has been shaky so far through 24 games, slashing .222/.278/.400 with three home runs, six RBI, seven runs, and three stolen bases. The former 16th-rounder has delivered a bit on his power-speed combo, but fantasy managers will want more results in the batting average category. Either way, Laureano remains an option in most formats.

Tue May 9 202301:17Ramon Laureano Day-To-Day While In Concussion Protocol
Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol and will remain day-to-day, according to manager Mark Kotsay. Laureano went 0-for-1 at the plate before leaving Monday's game against the New York Yankees early due to a head injury. While Laureano is technically day-to-day, there is a very real possibility that he'll land on the concussion injured list, and fantasy managers need to be prepared for that. If the 28-year-old is forced to miss some time, JJ Bleday and Brent Rooker would see most of the playing time in right field for Oakland. Coming into Monday's contest, Laureano was hitting just .225 (20-for-89) with five doubles, a triple, three home runs, six RBI, three steals and seven runs scored in 23 games played. He's not a must-stash in shallow mixed leagues if he goes on the IL.

Wed Apr 19 202314:14Ramon Laureano Placed On 10-Day Injured List
Oakland A's outfielder Ramon Laureano has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a strained left groin. The right-fielder has missed each of the last two games due to the hamstring issue as he's had a decent, yet unspectacular start to his season. The 28-year-old has put his power/speed combination on display with two homers and a pair of steals in 61 trips to the plate but he's also hitting just .218 with a sub-.300 on-base percentage. Laureano had logged just two hits over his last 18 plate appearances and will get a breather to reset while his IL stint is retroactive to April 17.

Wed Apr 19 202309:32Ramon Laureano Dealing With Hamstring Tightness
Oakland A's outfielder Ramon Laureano (hamstring) has missed back-to-back games due to hamstring tightness. He was available off the bench and could return to the lineup for Wednesday's series finale. The 28-year-old is considered day-to-day. Laureano is off to a slow start in 2023, slashing .218/.295/.436 with two homers, four RBI, five runs, and two stolen bases over 15 games. Conner Capel will continue to handle right field duties while Laureano is sidelined. Capel is slashing .257/.316/.314 with three RBI and three stolen bases over 15 games in 2023. Capel is worth using as a deep-league streamer for fantasy managers searching for stolen bases.

Tue Apr 18 202321:13Ramon Laureano Out Of The Lineup For Second Consecutive Day Tuesday
Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano is absent from the starting lineup for the second day in a row for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. The 28-year-old has given mixed results at the plate, hitting .218 with a pair of home runs and two stolen bases across 15 games. Laureano's currently two for his last 16, so manager Mark Kotsay may be giving him a chance to reset. Kevin Smith is taking his spot in the batting order to take on starting pitcher Marcus Stroman. He'll play short and bat ninth. Smith, 26, is in the midst of his second campaign with Oakland and is struggling to the tune of a .160/.160/.160 slash line with no power and one steal. He has some potential at the plate, but fantasy managers are better off streaming a hitter with a proven history.

Mon Apr 17 202318:08Ramon Laureano On The Bench Monday
Oakland A's outfielder Ramon Laureano will start Monday's game against the Chicago Cubs on the bench. Laureano has appeared in all but one of the A's games this season and while he hasn't hit much he's delivering on the power/speed upside managers desired on draft day. The 28-year-old is hitting just .218 but has two homers, four doubles, and a triple alongside a pair of stolen bases across 61 trips to the plate. Laureano has dealt with injuries in back-to-back seasons but has hit 27 home runs with 23 stolen bases across 182 games in that time. He'll struggle to produce adequate runs or RBI totals on a weak A's offense but Laureano still boasts a skill set worthy of a roster spot in deeper leagues.

Tue Apr 11 202318:30Ramon Laureano Sitting Out Tuesday
Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The right-handed slugger will get a well deserved day off after playing in the first 10 games to begin the season. He's hitting .250 with two home runs and four RBI in that span. Brent Rooker will cover right field and bat cleanup against right-hander Grayson Rodriguez.

Fri Mar 3 202311:35Ramon Laureano Back In Spring Lineup Friday
Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano (groin) is back in the Cactus League lineup on Friday against the Kansas City Royals, starting in right field and batting third. Laureano missed two spring contests this week with groin tightness, but it obviously wasn't a very serious situation. Injuries have been an issue for the 28-year-old in the past, but when healthy, he provides an interesting mix of power and speed, albeit in one of the weakest lineups in baseball and in a pitcher-friendly home park. Laureano hasn't had 500 plate appearances in any of his five major-league seasons and has played over 100 games just one time (2019). If everything breaks right for him and he stays healthy, there's a chance he could flirt with a 20-20 season in 2023.
