Orioles' Ramon Laureano: Perfect at plate
Rotowire
Laureano went 4-for-4 with an RBI double and a run scored in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Nationals.
Laureano reached base safely in all four plate appearances and smacked an RBI double in the third inning, though he crossed home plate only once. His four hits tied a career that he set three previous times, with the last instance taking place with the Athletics in May of 2021. Laureano could see a fair amount of starts in the outfield if Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) is on the shelf for an extended period of time.

Orioles' Ramon Laureano: Taking seat Thursday
Rotowire
Laureano is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.
Laureano will hit the bench for the series finale after he had started in each of the Orioles' last three contests, including both ends of Wednesday's doubleheader. Heston Kjerstad will get the nod in left field Thursday, but Laureano owns a nearly 100-point edge in OPS over Kjerstad on the season and may be the Orioles' preferred option at the position now that the team no longer has corner-outfield spots available for both players following Tyler O'Neill's recent return from the injured list.

Orioles' Ramon Laureano: Launches first homer
Rotowire
Laureano went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 9-1 win over the Guardians.
Making a second straight start (his first against a right-hander), Laureano extended Baltimore's lead to 5-1 in the seventh inning with a 393-foot shot off Gavin Williams, his first homer with the Orioles. Laureano could see a short-term boost in playing time with Tyler O'Neill (neck) banged up, though the majority of his playing time figures to come against left-handed pitching. The 30-year-old Laureano is just 2-for-16 (.125) with a .489 OPS through his first 17 plate appearances this year.

Orioles' Ramon Laureano: Starting against southpaw
Rotowire
Laureano will start in left field and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.
Laureano will pick up a second straight start as the Red Sox send a lefty (Garrett Crochet) to the hill once again. Though Colton Cowser (thumb) was placed on the injured list earlier this week, the Orioles will likely need one of Heston Kjerstad, Cedric Mullins or Tyler O'Neill to miss time before Laureano enters the mix for regular playing time versus righties.

Orioles' Ramon Laureano: Gets one-year pact from Baltimore
Rotowire
The Orioles signed Laureano to a one-year, $4 million contract Tuesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Laureano had a strong finish to the 2024 season, slashing .296/.327/.505 with 10 home runs over 67 regular-season games with Atlanta. The 30-year-old is the fourth right-handed or switch-hitting outfielder the Orioles have acquired this offseason, joining Daz Cameron, Tyler O'Neill and Dylan Carlson. Laureano should draw plenty of playing time versus left-handed pitching.

Rotowire
Atlanta non-tendered Laureano on Friday.
Laureano signed a minor-league contract with Atlanta on May 29 after being released by Cleveland two days earlier.
