Ramón Laureano likely out for remainder of 2026 season after hip surgery
Summary

San Diego Padres outfielder Ramón Laureano is expected to miss the rest of the 2026 MLB season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right hip. He had been on the injured list with right hip inflammation and faced a lengthy recovery after an MRI revealed the tear. Padres manager Craig Stammen noted that Laureano had battled hip issues for several years. The team has struggled recently, losing five straight games and nine of their last 10. In Laureano's absence, Bryce Johnson and Gavin Sheets are poised to take over left field responsibilities as the Padres evaluate their options, including potential trades for a left fielder.
