Out with hip issue
The Padres placed Laureano on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to May 31, due to right hip inflammation.
Analysis
It's unclear when Laureano sustained the injury, but he hasn't seen the field since going 0-for-3 with a walk and a caught stealing Saturday against the Nationals. The veteran outfielder was slumping hard prior to the injury with a .524 OPS over 25 games in May, so the Padres seem likely to send him for a rehab assignment to help him right the ship, regardless of how long he's on the shelf.

Resting up Sunday
Laureano is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.
Analysis
The Padres will give Laureano a breather for Sunday's day game after he went 2-for-21 with a solo home run, two steals and an additional run while starting in the team's last six contests. San Diego will go with Nick Castellanos and Fernando Tatis as its starters in the corner outfield in the series finale while Laureano sits.

Lifts solo shot
Laureano went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Phillies.
Analysis
Laureano's last two hits have been long balls, a welcome improvement after he went 14 contests without a homer earlier in May. The outfielder is up to seven homers, 21 RBI, 22 runs scored, five stolen bases, five doubles and two triples while hitting .211 with a .676 OPS over 50 contests this season. He is just 4-for-27 (.148) over nine games since his last multi-hit effort.
