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

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.

The Cleveland Guardians designated outfielder Ramon Laureano for assignment before the team's series opener against the New York Mets. Laureano was off to a rough start in 2024, hitting just .143 with one home run and four RBI across 31 games. The 29-year-old outfielder also had just two hits over his last 31 plate appearances. He should now have the opportunity to sign with any team as a free agent. Johnathan Rodriguez will take his place on the active roster after the team called him up on Monday.
