May return Wednesday Laureano (hip) is scheduled to run the bases Tuesday and could be activated from the injured list Wednesday if all goes well, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact Manager Bob Melvin said over the weekend the team hadn't decided whether the 26-year-old would require a rehab assignment before being activated, and it appears they decided a trip to the minors won't be necessary. Even if he's not activated Wednesday, there's a strong chance Laureano is back for the series against the Yankees this weekend following Thursday's scheduled off day.

Might not require rehab stint Manager Bob Melvin said Sunday that the team has not decided if Laureano (hip) will need to go on a rehab assignment before being activated from the injured list, Matt Kawahara of...
Impact The skipper said they'll wait to see how Laureano feels after he takes live at-bats and runs the bases Monday before deciding whether he needs to go on a rehab assignment. In either scenario, Laureano seems to have a strong chance of returning to Oakland's lineup at some point within the next week, assuming he doesn't suffer a setback in the coming days.

Set to face live pitching Monday Laureano (hip) is scheduled to face live pitching Monday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Impact Laureano has been out with a right hip strain since May 27. The center fielder resumed baseball activities earlier this week and will face live pitching Monday. Assuming he comes out of Monday's workout feeling well, the next step will likely be to go on a minor-league rehab assignment. If all goes to plan, Laureano could rejoin the Athletics' lineup within the next week.

Looking to build stamina Laureano (hip) anticipates going on a rehab assignment to build up his stamina, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Impact Laureano hasn't participated in game action since May 27, but is nearing a return after participating in batting practice Thursday. Though he said he wouldn't need at-bats during a rehab assignment, he noted that it would helpful to play a game or two to regain his stamina.

Participates in full workout Laureano (hip) participated in a full workout on the field ahead of Thursday's game against the Royals, Alex Coffey of The Athletic reports.
Impact Laureano ran Wednesday and felt good afterward, so the team is continuing to increase his baseball activity. Manager Bob Melvin isn't yet sure whether the outfielder will require a rehab assignment prior to rejoining the Athletics, and the team will monitor his progress in the coming days to determine his status. The 26-year-old has been on the 10-day injured list since June 1 due to a strained right hip.

A’s Ramón Laureano sees specialist, gets cortisone shot for hip strain “The hip is still structurally sound and doing well.”
JUNE 5, 2021 • MERCURYNEWS.COM
No structural damage in hip Laureano has no structural damage in his hip and is tentatively scheduled to resume running sometime next week, James Fegan of The Athletica reports.
Impact The center fielder landed on the 10-day IL with a right hip strain earlier this week and received a cortisone shot and PRP injection Friday. With the plan being for him to resume running next week, Laureano will certainly miss more than the minimum 10 days. With that said, it's still unclear when the 26-year-old could return to the lineup, though a timeline could come into focus within the next week. Tony Kemp, Chad Pinder and Stephen Piscotty should all continue to see increased usage in the outfield with Laureano out.

Officially lands on injured list Laureano was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a strained right hip, retroactive to May 28, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Impact Manager Bob Melvin indicated after Monday's loss to the Mariners that the 26-year-old would likely move to the IL, and the roster move is now official. Laureano was previously reported to be dealing with soreness in his right groin, but the issue is now being classified as a right hip strain. He'll be eligible to be activated next week, though it's unclear what his timeline will be. Skye Bolt was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move.

Likely headed for IL Athletics manager Bob Melvin said after Monday's 6-5 loss to the Mariners that Laureano (groin) will likely be placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com...
Impact Laureano's sore right groin kept him on the bench for a fourth straight game Monday, but the Athletics were initially hopeful he would be able to move past the issue in expedient fashion and avoid a trip to the IL. Unfortunately for the Athletics, Laureano still didn't feel right after taking batting practice Monday, so the team seems content to shut him down for the next week or so with the hope that the extended rest will resolve the issue. Laureano's impending move to the IL should open up more reps in the outfield for a combination of Seth Brown, Stephen Piscotty, Tony Kemp and Chad Pinder.

Remains on bench Laureano (groin) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.
Impact For a fourth straight game, Laureano will be relegated to a bench role while he manages a tight right groin. The Athletics are still listing Laureano as day-to-day, so the club is seemingly hopeful that he'll avoid a trip to the injured list and return to the lineup at some point during the three-game series in Seattle. Mark Canha will shift over from left field to cover center field in Laureano's stead.
