Laureano will start in left field and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Reds.

Laureano will be included the lineup for the sixth time in eight games, with the right-handed-hitting outfielder having picked up four starts versus righties during that span. After previously occupying the short side of a platoon in left field, Laureano appears to have unseated the struggling Jarred Kelenic as the preferred option at the position. Dating back to the All-Star break, Laureano has produced an .858 OPS over 45 games.
