Ramon Laureano Could Return Tuesday
5 months agoAtlanta Braves outfielder Ramon Laureano (back) has been dealing with a sore back and will not play until at least Tuesday, when the Braves open a series against the San Francisco Giants, according to manager Brian Snitker. Laureano was out of the lineup for the series opener last Friday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Since joining the Braves when Michael Harris II (hamstring) landed on the injured list, Laureano has gone 9-for-35 (.257) with a home run, four doubles and four RBI in a part-time role. The 29-year-old last played on Wednesday. "He's not capable (of playing yet)," Snitker said Saturday. "We won't probably use him off the bench. We'll shoot for Tuesday, with tomorrow and the day off. There is enough still going on that I'm hoping with these extra days we can get him built up."
