Ramon Laureano Still Out Of The Lineup
5 months agoAtlanta Braves outfielder Ramon Laureano (oblique) remains out of the starting lineup on Sunday as the team takes on the visiting division-rival Philadelphia Phillies. It's a bit surprising that the Braves haven't put Laureano on the 10-day injured list yet, as he hasn't played since June 26 due to a sore oblique. The Braves are short on outfield depth with Ronald Acuna Jr. (knee) out for the season and Michael Harris II (hamstring) currently on the injured list, which is why they signed veteran Eddie Rosario this week. Laureano's injury has meant regular playing time for right-handed slugger Adam Duvall, who is once again starting in right field and batting seventh on Sunday against Phillies rookie right-hander Michael Mercado, who will be making just his second MLB start. If Laureano isn't ready to play in Monday's series opener against the D-backs, he'll likely go on the IL.
