RAMÓN LAUREANO NEWS

Blasts first homer of season Laureano went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss to the Angels.

Impact Oakland was trailing 11-0 by the time Laureano put the team on the board with his solo shot in the fifth inning, so the impact of the long ball was much more pronounced for fantasy managers than for the outcome of the game. The homer is to this point Laureano's lone hit this season, as he's gone 1-for-7 with four strikeouts over his first two games.

Multi-hit effort Tuesday Laureano went 2-for-3 with an RBI single and a run in a Cactus League win over the Angels on Tuesday.

Impact The defensive-minded outfielder came through with his first multi-hit effort since March 7 and only his second of spring overall. Laureano has hit safely in three of his last four games, but he has just one extra-base hit, a double, and his spring average sits at a pedestrian .243 across 41 plate appearances.

Struggling since return from injury Laureano is 0-for-7 with two walks over the three Cactus League games he's played since returning from a two-game absence due to a groin injury.

Impact Laureano was held out of Wednesday's and Thursday's exhibitions after being removed from Tuesday's game against the Angels with groin tightness. His lack of success at the plate since returning leaves him with an .083 average (1-for-12) over five Cactus League games overall.

Back in lineup Friday Laureano (groin) is starting in right field and batting third Friday versus the Royals.

Impact Laureano missed the team's last two contests after being removed from Tuesday's lineup with groin tightness, but the 28-year-old will be back on the diamond Friday. The outfielder is one of the A's most experienced players and could have a big season if he remains slotted in as the the team's third batter.

Likely sitting out Thursday Laureano (groin) went through a normal workout Wednesday, but he was held out of the Athletics' Cactus League lineup for the second straight game and is likely to remain sidelined...

Impact Laureano was a late scratch from Tuesday's game against the Angels with what was later revealed to be groin tightness. The Athletics are unsurprisingly taking a cautious approach with Laureano at this point in spring training, making it likely he doesn't return to Cactus League action until this weekend at the earliest.

Dealing with groin tightness Laureano's removal from Tuesday's lineup was due to left groin tightness, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact The Athletics have deemed the move precautionary, but, given the type of injury, Laureano would figure to be down for at least another day or two. He's currently slated to be Oakland's starting right fielder this season.

Scratched from Tuesday's lineup Laureano was a late scratch from the Athletics' Cactus League lineup Tuesday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact There's no word yet on the reasoning for Laureano's removal, but the A's should provide an update before long. Conner Capel will play right field instead.

Settles with Oakland Laureano agreed to a one-year, $3.55 million contract with the Athletics on Friday to avoid arbitration, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Laureano missed the early part of last season while serving a PED suspension and missed the final couple weeks of the campaign with hamstring and hip issues. The 28-year-old struggled when healthy with a .211/.287/.376 slash line in 94 games, but he'll nonetheless receive a raise for his first year of arbitration eligibility.

Recovering from PRP injection Laureano (hamstring), who's already ruled out for the remainder of the season, recently received a PRP injection in his right hip, the Associated Press reports.

Impact A right hamstring strain is what has ended Laureano's season early, but the outfielder also opted to try and address some right hip discomfort now that he's been ruled out for the season. Laureano will begin a rehab program with team trainers this week ahead of what's expected to be a normal offseason.

Deemed unlikely to return in '22 Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said Wednesday he doesn't expect Laureano (hamstring) to return before the end of the regular season, the Associated Press reports.

Impact Laureano's injured list stint just began Sunday, which would leave him just enough time to get a handful of games in before the conclusion of the campaign if it were to only last the minimal amount of time. However, Kotsay threw cold water on that notion Wednesday, remarking "I'm kind of sure it's going to be a season-ending (injury)," with respect to Laureano's hamstring strain. The A's skipper did confirm the 28-year-old would begin a rehab program in coming days with the goal of being able to have a fairly normal offseason.

Return this season not certain Laureano (hamstring) continues be evaluated, and it remains unclear whether he'll be able to return before the conclusion of the regular season, the Associated Press reports.

Impact Laureano went on the injured list Sunday with a right hamstring strain amidst a very difficult start to September where he'd hit just .108 across his first 10 games of the month. If the curtain is indeed ultimately closed on the 28-year-old's 2022 campaign, it's one he'll be eager to put behind him after it began with him completing an 80-game PED suspension carried over from last season and then led to a career-worst .211/.287/.376 slash line across 94 games.

To IL with hamstring strain Laureano was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a right hamstring strain.

Impact Laureano is hitting .108 with 15 strikeouts and zero walks in 10 games this month. Cristian Pache should get steady run in center field while Laureano is out.

Not starting Saturday Laureano will be on the bench Saturday against the Astros.

Impact Laureano started nine of the last 10 games since his return from an oblique strain, struggling to a .108/.175/.216 line and 0:15 BB:K over that stretch. Cristian Pache will be the center fielder Saturday, while Seth Brown starts in right.
