The Padres placed Laureano (finger) on the 10-day injured list Saturday.
Laureano suffered a fractured right index finger during Wednesday's game against the Brewers, and his move to the IL will officially make him unavailable for San Diego's upcoming wild-card series matchup against the Cubs. Gavin Sheets is expected to take over as the Friars' primary left fielder while Laureano is out, and the team will recall Will Wagner from the rookie-level Arizona Complex League to fill the vacancy on their bench.

Padres' Ramon Laureano: Continues to shine after trade
Rotowire
Laureano went 3-for-4 with a home run, a walk, three total runs and two total RBI in an 11-1 victory against the Giants on Wednesday.
Laureano's homer in the rout was a two-run blast in the fifth inning that made the score 10-0. The veteran outfielder already has the second-most homers (17) and RBI (56) of his career through 94 games, and he could reach his respective career-best marks of 24 and 67 that he set with the A's in 2019. Laureano has been especially potent since joining San Diego at the trade deadline, slashing .333/.400/.600 with two home runs, 10 RBI, nine runs and a stolen base through 12 contests.
Laureano went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Giants.
Laureano got some rest Monday after a stretch of going just 2-for-15 across four games. He bounced back with a multi-hit effort in his return to the lineup, which also included his first steal for the Padres. On the year, the veteran outfielder is 5-for-8 on steal attempts, though he's made up for a drop in speed by having a career year as a hitter. He's batting .290 with an .882 OPS, 16 home runs, 54 RBI, 51 runs scored, 19 doubles and two triples across 93 games between the Padres and Orioles. Laureano's production has been fairly steady between the two teams, so he should continue to see a near-everyday role.
