Ramón Laureano's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

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.
