“He is day-to-day,” said Cleveland Guardians manager Stephen Vogt regarding José Ramírez’s recent injury.
Ramírez left a spring training game in Goodyear, Arizona, after experiencing soreness in his left shoulder, which he injured while sliding into third base. Before his exit, he managed to go 1-for-2 at the plate, including a double and a stolen base.
The seven-time All-Star has been a cornerstone for the Guardians, having spent his entire 13-year career with the team. Last season, he finished third in American League MVP voting, boasting a batting average of .283 alongside 30 home runs and 85 RBIs.
This offseason, Ramírez signed a seven-year, $175 million contract, marking the largest deal in franchise history. His impressive career statistics include a lifetime batting average of .279, 285 home runs, and 949 RBIs.
Despite the injury, Ramírez’s status for the start of the regular season appears to be secure. The Guardians will monitor his condition closely as he recovers from shoulder inflammation.
As the team prepares for the upcoming season, Ramírez’s health will be a focal point, given his significant contributions to the lineup. Fans and analysts alike will be eager to see how quickly he can return to full strength.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the extent of the injury, but the Guardians are optimistic about his recovery timeline.
