Doubles home a run Sunday Laureano went 1-for-4 with an RBI double in a loss to the Red Sox on Sunday.

Impact Laureano wasted no time extending his hitting streak to 10 games Sunday, lacing a two-bagger in the first inning that plated Chad Pinder with the Athletics' opening run of the afternoon. The defensive wizard has seemingly rediscovered his groove at the plate after shaking off the rust from a delayed start to the season due to suspension, as he's now sporting a .343 on-base percentage to go along with a climbing .247 average.

Records steal in loss Laureano went 2-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in Saturday's 8-0 loss to the Red Sox.

Impact Laureano was the only Oakland batter to post multiple hits in the contest. He extended his hitting streak to nine games, a span in which he's gone 13-for-37 (.351) with a pair of steals, a home run, three RBI and six runs scored. Overall, the outfielder owns a .247/.347/.341 slash line with a homer, four RBI, 13 runs and four steals in six attempts through 98 plate appearances. He's consistently hit in the top third of the Athletics' order since returning from a hand injury May 26.

Works out of leadoff spot Monday Laureano worked out of the leadoff spot in Monday's loss to the Astros and went 1-for-4 with an RBI single.

Impact Laureano's timely sixth-inning knock accounted for the only run of the day for the typically moribund Athletics offense. The 27-year-old has only hit leadoff in four of 21 games, but his current five-game hitting streak and improving slash line could begin to afford him more frequent opportunities at or near the top of the order.

On base three times in win Laureano went 2-for-5 with a walk and a run in a win over the Rangers on Sunday.

Impact The surging outfielder extended his hitting streak to four games while generating his second straight two-hit effort. Laureano's slash line is on the move upward after an abysmal start to the season, and his current .338 on-base percentage is partly the byproduct of an encouraging, career-high 11.7 percent walk rate.

Swats first homer Laureano went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 11-4 loss to the Rangers.

Impact The outfielder took Taylor Hearn deep in the fifth inning, but the A's were already in a 10-1 hole at that point. The long ball was the first of the year for Laureano after his delayed start to the campaign, and through 19 games he's slashing .200/.324/.317 with three steals, three RBI and 10 runs.

Impact Laureano made his return from a four-game absence following a CT scan that showed no additional concerns with his previously injured hand.

Impact The 27-year-old was penciled in to start in right field Wednesday after missing three straight games with a right hand injury, but he was scratched after the issues surfaced when going through pre-game work.

Scratched from Wednesday's lineup Laureano (hand) has been scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Mariners.

Impact Laureano was initially slated to start in right field and bat cleanup Wednesday, but he was removed from the lineup approximately an hour before the start of the game. While the reason for his removal wasn't given, it seems likely that it's related to the hand injury that also forced him to miss the last three games. Luis Barrera will take over in right field and bat ninth.

Cleared to start Wednesday Laureano (hand) will start in right field and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

Impact After missing three straight games, Laureano underwent a follow-up X-ray on Tuesday, but the scans apparently didn't show anything concerning enough to keep the outfielder on the bench for the series finale. Since completing the 80-game suspension he was handed last year and gaining clearance for his 2022 debut earlier this month, Laureano has appeared in 16 games and is hitting .167 with no home runs and two stolen bases.

Impact The 27-year-old had X-rays come back negative after being struck by a pitch on the right hand Saturday, but he's out of the lineup again Tuesday and is now headed for more imaging. Laureano seems unlikely to be available for Wednesday's series finale in Seattle regardless of the new X-ray results.

Impact It's the second consecutive absence for Laureano after being hit by a pitch on his right hand Saturday.
