Ramon Laureano May Receive Rehab At-Bats
Ramon Laureano (leg) may get some at-bats with High-A Stockton prior to being activated from the 10-day injured list. The 25-year-old has been hitting, throwing, and doing running drills in recent days, and says he feels ready to return to action. Laureano recorded 21 home runs, 58 RBI, 67 runs scored, 12 stolen bases and a .284 batting average prior to landing on the IL, and should be owned in all fantasy formats.

Ramon Laureano Homers Twice Off The Bench
Ramon Laureano came into Saturday's game after Heston Kjerstad (elbow) was forced to exit this contest. He wasted little time making an impact as he homered in the third inning off right-hander Hunter Greene. Laureano went deep again, smacking a 432-foot home run off Carson Spiers in the seventh inning. The 30-year-old hasn't done much as a part-time player this season. However, Laureano could see a bigger role going forward if Kjerstad is forced to miss time. Fantasy managers should stay tuned for update on Kjerstad's injury. Laureano might be able to offer some deep league value if he gets moved into the starting lineup.

Ramon Laureano Agrees With Orioles On One-Year Deal
Ramon Laureano agreed with the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday on a one-year, $4 million deal, sources told The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal. Laureano became a free agent when the Atlanta Braves non-tendered him back in November. The 30-year-old veteran outfielder began the 2024 campaign with the Cleveland Guardians before being cut after hitting .143 with a homer and 32 strikeouts in 31 games played. He was much better in 67 regular-season games in Atlanta, slashing .296/.327/.505 with an .832 OPS, 10 homers, 29 RBI and five steals in 226 plate appearances. Laureano's career-high 12.6% barrel rate was the primary reason for his resurgence with the Braves, but he still struck out over 30% of the time. In Baltimore, he'll join a crowded outfield picture that includes Colton Cowser, Cedric Mullins, Tyler O'Neill, Heston Kjerstad and Dylan Carlson.

Ramon Laureano Headed To Free Agency
Ramon Laureano's contract, which will make him a free agent. The Braves signed the veteran outfielder to their roster in late May after the Cleveland Guardians released him. Through 67 games in Atlanta, Laureano posted a solid .296/.327/.505 line with 13 doubles, ten home runs, 29 RBI, and five stolen bases. Earlier in the summer with Cleveland, Laureano held a mere .143/.265/.229 line in a 31-game stint. Under the hood, he generated a strong 12.6% barrel rate and an above-average 40.8% hard-hit rate. Given his strong play towards the end of the season, the 30-year-old will likely find a suitor and could be worth a look in deep 5-outfielder leagues if he has a full-time role out of Spring Training.

Ramon Laureano Remains Out On Sunday
Ramon Laureano (heel) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The veteran outfielder was pulled from Saturday's contest due to right heel soreness. Laureano has a wrap on his foot, so the severity of the issue is unknown right now. For now, fantasy managers should consider Laureano as day-to-day. Eli White will cover center field and bat ninth versus left-hander Kyle Freeland.
