2024 Fantasy Outlook
Laureano appeared poised for a breakout after he posted a .288/.340/.521 slash line during his first full MLB season in 2019, but he struggled over the past few years and was DFA'd by Oakland in early August. He was quickly claimed by Cleveland and had a .724 OPS for his new team, which was a significant improvement on the .644 OPS he had for Oakland last season. In total he played in 105 games and had nine homers, 12 steals, 35 RBI and 46 runs while striking out at a 28.2 percent clip. Laureano's decent power and speed profile make him a potential 15-15 candidate, but he averaged 388 plate appearances over the past three seasons and is hardly guaranteed to eclipse that in 2024 given his inconsistent performance and durability concerns.

Losing out on reps vs. RHPs
Laureano is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.
ANALYSIS
Laureano is on the bench for the second game in a row, with both of his absences coming against right-handed starting pitchers (Tanner Houck and Cooper Criswell). Guardians manager Stephen Vogt hasn't indicated that Laureano is dealing with an injury, so the consecutive absences from the lineup would seemingly signal that the 29-year-old is losing playing time after hitting just .174 through his first 46 at-bats of the season. Estevan Florial is included in the lineup at designated hitter for the second straight contest and seems set to benefit the most if Laureano's role continues to shrink.

Stat Review
How does Ramon Laureano compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Toronto might be landing spot
Laureano could be a fit as a trade target for the Blue Jays in their pursuit of outfield help, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Laureano's teammate in Oakland, Brent Rooker, is also listed as a possibility by Nicholson-Smith. The Blue Jays' three starting outfield spots are spoken for, but getting a right-handed hitter would allow them to pinch hit for Kevin Kiermaier and/or Daulton Varsho when late-game situations dictate a move. Laureano is under team control through 2025 but might be a non-tender candidate.

2022

2020
2019
2017
Laureano got a late start to the season as he finished up his PED suspension from 2021 and then had an early exit to the season when an upper leg injury shut him down mid-September. Laureano ended up receiving a PRP injection in his right hip in early October and has committed to doing more phystical training this winter to be more durable. That's a good thing considering he has yet to hit 500 plate appearances in his big league career over the course of any one full season and is likely going to be asked to hit high in a rather anemic Oakland lineup as things look now. You should pretend 2019 neer happened from a power perspective because that baseball does not exist any longer, but a 15/15 season is certainly well within reach for him given he nearly did that last year in limited play and a poor on base percentage. 20/20 is on the extreme fringes of possible outcomes, but it too could happen if everything breaks right for someone who has had little go right for him the pas three seasons. The risks that would come with this skills profile are outweighed by the fact his cheap team has him committed to a contract and has few options to replace him so the playing time is his as long as he is healthy.
