Laureano (finger) entered Friday's loss to the Phillies as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning and went 0-for-1.
Despite being out of the lineup for a third straight game due to a finger contusion, Laureano was well enough to hit for Seth Brown leading off the ninth inning, though he struck out swinging. The veteran outfielder, who boasted a .286 average and .764 OPS in the 14 games prior to his injury, will have a chance to reenter the lineup for Saturday afternoon's clash against Philadelphia.
