**KANSAS CITY, MO** – Cleveland Guardians All-Star third baseman José Ramírez escaped serious injury after suffering a right wrist sprain Saturday. While he missed Sunday’s 6-2 win over the Kansas City Royals, tests revealed no structural damage, and manager Stephen Vogt expects him back in the lineup as early as Monday.
Ramírez injured his wrist while sliding into second base during Saturday’s game. Although he initially remained in the game, he appeared hampered, exhibiting discomfort on a throw and subsequent at-bat. He was removed in the sixth inning.
Imaging showed no significant issues, with Vogt describing the injury as swelling and soreness. Gabriel Arias, who has 44 career appearances at third base, filled in admirably at the hot corner for Sunday’s game. Daniel Schneemann also provides depth at the position. Vogt expressed confidence in both players’ defensive abilities and their versatility. The team is taking a cautious approach to Ramírez’s recovery to prevent the injury from lingering.
