Laureano will start in left field and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Twins.
Though he looked to be at risk of moving back into a fourth-outfielder role when Michael Harris (hand) rejoined the lineup Tuesday, Laureano will instead stick in the starting nine for the 19th time in 20 games. For the second day in a row, Laureano will start in left field against a right-handed pitcher over Jarred Kelenic, who appears to be the odd man out of the lineup while manager Brian Snitker rides the hot bat of Laureano. Dating back to Aug. 8, Laureano has hit .348 with five home runs, nine RBI, 11 runs and two stolen bases over a stretch of 19 contests.
