Ramírez's Shoulder Sore, But Expected Back Soon
17 Mar
Summary
- Ramírez experienced shoulder soreness after sliding into third base.
- He is expected to be fine in a few days after reassessment.
- Ramírez signed the largest contract in franchise history.
José Ramírez, a seven-time All-Star, is currently day-to-day after experiencing shoulder soreness. The injury occurred when he jammed his shoulder while sliding into third base during Cleveland's recent 12-6 victory. He was immediately evaluated and reported feeling significantly better the following day.
Ramírez, who finished third in AL MVP voting last season, did not undergo imaging for his shoulder, with inflammation being the primary concern. He is a career .279 hitter with 285 home runs and 949 RBIs. His current status means he was not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Chicago Cubs.
This past offseason, Ramírez signed a seven-year, $175 million contract, marking the largest deal in Cleveland's franchise history. His return to the lineup is anticipated within days, pending further assessment.
