Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez exited Saturday’s game against the Kansas City Royals with a sprained right wrist.
The six-time All-Star was injured while being caught stealing in the third inning. He dove in head first in an awkward manner and the hand hit the dirt hard.
Ramirez, 32, initially stayed in the game but was replaced in the bottom of the sixth inning by Gabriel Arias. Ramirez was 0-for-2 with a walk before exiting.
“He’s doing alright. It’s a mild sprain,” Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said. “He’s day to day. … We all know what that means with Josey. Gonna see how he feels in the morning. I think I’m going to have to hold him down to keep him out of there.”
Ramirez matched his career high of 39 homers last season and drove in 118 runs. He batted .279 in 158 games.
