Plays catch Sunday Laureano (oblique) played catch prior to Sunday's game against the Mariners, the team's official site reports.
Impact The recovering outfielder had also taken 15 swings in the batting cage prior to Saturday's game, so the fact he was able to engage in throwing a day later is encouraging. Despite the progress over the weekend, however, it remains to be seen if Laureano will be able to return from his Grade 1 strain when first eligible Thursday.

Dealing with Grade 1 oblique strain Athletics manager Mark Kotsay revealed Thursday that Laureano's left oblique strain is of the Grade 1 variety, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. "It'll be pain...
Impact Though a Grade 1 strain is the most mild degree, the volatile recovery timelines associated with oblique injuries means that Laureano shouldn't be viewed as a guaranteed bet to come off the 10-day injured list Aug. 25 when first eligible. As Kotsay notes, how Laureano responds to his upcoming workouts will dictate his target date for a return, and given the Athletics' place in the standings, it's possible the team opts for an even more conservative approach with him than usual. While Laureano on the shelf, Seth Brown is expected to see more time in right field after having previously made most of his starts at first base.

Heads to injured list The Athletics placed Laureano on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left oblique strain.
Impact The injury Laureano sustained in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Astros was previously described as left side soreness, but follow-up tests evidently revealed a more serious issue. Depending on the severity of Laureano's oblique strain, he could be at risk of being sidelined well beyond the minimum 10 days, which might make him a drop candidate in the majority of fantasy leagues at this stage of the season. Even before the injury surfaced, Laureano had struggled to meet expectations for fantasy managers. Over 343 plate appearances, he's produced a .223 average, 12 home runs, 10 stolen bases, 44 runs and 29 RBI.

Dealing with side soreness Laureano exited Sunday's game against the Astros due to left side soreness, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Laureano experienced soreness in his side during a swing in a fourth-inning at-bat Sunday and was removed from the game shortly after. If he's forced to miss additional time, Stephen Piscotty and Chad Pinder are candidates to see increased playing time in the outfield.
