Ramón Laureano News
Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano (hip) was able to take batting practice ahead of Thursday's game against the Kansas City Royals. It sounds like Laureano is making good progress from his right hip strain. He has been sidelined since June 1, but could return to the big league roster shortly. The young outfielder claims he doesn't need a rehab assignment, but Oakland might have him take a few at-bats in Triple-A anyway. Regardless, it sounds like Laureano should return to the big league roster soon. He has slapped 11 home runs this season and should be rostered in most fantasy formats.
Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano (hip) received a cortisone and PRP injection on Thursday and is expected to be out for longer than the 10-day minimum, according to Shayna Rubin of The Mercury News. Laureano was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a strained right hip, with the move retroactive to May 28. So far this season, Laureano is slashing .257/.332/.503 with 11 home runs, eight steals, 22 RBI and 30 runs. With Laureano out, Canha will continue to start in center field, while Tony Kemp and Chad Pinder will split time in left.
Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano (hip) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a strained right hip, according to Martin Gallegos of MLB.com. The move is retroactive to May 28, as Laureano has been out since Thursday with what was originally reported to be groin tightness. While Laureano has been sidelined, Mark Canha has slid over to start in center, and the Athletics added to their outfield depth by recalling outfielder Skye Bolt from Triple-A. Managers will hope that Laureano is not out for a lengthy period of time, as he is slashing .257/.332/.503 with 11 home runs, eight steals, 22 RBI and 30 runs scored this season.

Ramon Laureano came off a strong 2019 campaign with a subpar 2020 season. Although it was a small sample size of 222 plate appearances, Laureano posted an underwhelming .213/.338/.366 line with six home runs and 25 RBI. Additionally, Laureano's stolen base output all but disappeared in 2020. He swiped just two bases (five extrapolated over a full 162-game season) supported by a drop in speed metrics including a continued notable decline in sprint speed which began after the 2018 season. Laureano's low HR production was also supported. He posted a two mph decline in overall exit velocity and a six percent decline in overall hard-hit rate down to 34.4% (27th percentile in MLB). That said, he still posted an impressive 94.2 mph exit velocity on FB/LD, equal to Trent Grisham and Michael Conforto, offering hope for a 2021 HR rebound. Laureano's .213 average was supported by an xBA of .235, though his walk rate did increase by over five percent, making him more attractive in on-base percentage leagues. While the down year in average and HR production can potentially be chalked up to a poor short season, the low stolen base output appears legitimate given his continued decline in speed metrics. With an ADP of 141, managers can take a chance on Laureano, who should now be viewed as a four-category contributor, hoping he can return to his 2019 form in the HR, RBI, and average categories. A modest 20 HR ceiling to go with a batting average in the .240-.260 range is a reasonable expectation for Laureano in 2021.
