Ramon Laureano Fractures Finger, Out Through First Round of Playoffs
San Diego Padres outfielder Ramon Laureano (finger) fractured his right index finger and will be out through at least the first round of the playoffs, manager Mike Shildt told reporters. Laureano suffered the injury during a 3-1 defeat against the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday, forcing him to exit after the second inning. The 31-year-old is a significant loss for the Padres heading into the playoffs, having hit .269/.323/.489 with nine homers, 30 RBI, 27 runs scored, and three stolen bases in 198 plate appearances since they acquired him from the Baltimore Orioles on July 31. In a combined 488 trips to the plate between the two teams, Laureano slashed a strong .281/.342/.512 with 24 HRs, 76 RBI, 72 runs, and seven steals. As long as Laureano is out, Gavin Sheets should get the majority of playing time in left field for the Padres.
