Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez (forearm) is in Saturday's lineup and hitting third against St. Louis Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas. Ramirez left the Guardians' 6-0 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays early on Thursday after taking a Kevin Gausman fastball off the right forearm. After sitting out Friday's 5-0 loss to the Cardinals, he's ready to return to a slumping lineup. Ramirez is in the midst of another great year, having hit .317/.378/.514 with 13 homers, 38 RBI, 21 steals, and 43 runs scored over 325 plate appearances.

Cleveland Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said on MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM that third baseman Jose Ramirez (forearm) "probably isn't going to be able to play" in the series opener on Friday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Ramirez was hit by a pitch on his right forearm in Thursday's loss to the Toronto Blue Jays and was pulled from the game early, but thankfully X-rays came back negative for a fracture. While J-Ram won't start on Friday, he could be available off the bench later in the game, which signals that he could return to action for fantasy managers for Game 2 of the series on Saturday at Progressive Field. Daniel Schneeman and Gabriel Arias are both options to start at third on Friday. The 32-year-old Ramirez continues to be one of the best all-around players in baseball and currently has a .317/.378/.514 slash line with an .892 OPS, 13 homers, 38 RBI, 43 runs and 21 steals.

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez (forearm) left Thursday's game early against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays at Progressive Field with a bruised right forearm after he was hit by a pitch from Kevin Gausman in the bottom of the fourth inning. J-Ram was pulled before going back on defense in the top of the fifth. The good news is that X-rays came back negative on his arm, so there's a good chance we'll see the 32-year-old All-Star back in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the St. Louis Cardinals. Before leaving, Ramirez was hitless in two plate appearance. Daniel Schneemann moved from second to third base, Angel Martinez moved from center to second, Lane Thomas moved from right to center, and Nolan Jones entered the game to play right field. Fantasy managers should check back on Ramirez to see if he's active on Friday.

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in his team's 5-3 loss to the Houston Astros. The switch-hitting fantasy superstar also singled, scored twice, and drew two walks. Ramirez drove in teammate Steven Kwan in the seventh inning with a no-doubter -- his twelfth of the season -- off Astros reliever Steven Okert to knot the score at 3-3. He'd get a chance to walk it off, but fouled out with a man on first and second in the bottom of the ninth. He's been on quite a streak, notching 12 multi-hit performances over his last 18 games. The 32-year-old is a blistering 31-for-74 over that stretch (.419) with six doubles, three homers, eight RBI, 16 runs scored, and five steals. He currently holds a 1.170 OPS in June after a 1.085 OPS over 101 May at-bats.

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez stayed hot in Tuesday night's 3-2 loss to the New York Yankees. Ramrez went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases and a run scored, notching his sixth multi-hit game in his last seven contests. The 32-year-old is now slashing .330/.386/.553 with a .939 OPS through 57 games, producing at an All-Star level for Cleveland. Since May 1, Ramirez is slashing .394/.455/.651, with six home runs and 10 stolen bases over 28 games. He will look to continue his hot-hitting ways and help keep the Guardians competitive in a tightly contested AL Central.

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez swatted his 11th home run of the season on Sunday to help the team to a 4-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels. Ramirez added a single to finish 2-for-4 with one RBI. While Ramirez saw a 21-game hitting streak end on Friday, he has now gotten on base in 28 consecutive contests since April 30. Not surprisingly, the six-time All-Star is enjoying another stellar season. He's slashing .327/.384/.555 line with 36 runs scored, 29 RBI, and 14 stolen bases in 237 trips to the plate. Ramirez will try to add to his on-base streak when the Guardians go on the road to face New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon on Tuesday. Ramirez has gone a modest 11-of-45 with no HRs, five RBI, eight walks, and four strikeouts against Rodon.

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez helped lead the team in Friday's 3-1 win over the AL Central rival Detroit Tigers. Ramirez hit a first-inning RBI triple against Tigers right-hander Jackson Jobe to give the Guardians the lead, which they never relinquished. That was the lone hit of the game for Ramirez, who finished 1-for-4 with his 13th stolen base of the season. Ramirez has been red hot lately and is on a 16-game hitting streak. The six-time All-Star is off to an impressive start this year with a .306/.365/.522 line, nine home runs, and 28 RBI in 203 plate appearances. He'll face Tigers righty Casey Mize on Saturday. It's a tiny sample size, but Ramirez has owned Mize with two home runs in two at-bats.

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez stole three bases in a single game for the third time in his career and the first time since 2021 on Monday night against the Brewers. He went 1-for-2 with a pair of walks to get on base, and all three of his stolen bases came with Freddy Peralta on the mound. He scored two runs in Cleveland's 5-0 shutout of Milwaukee and now has 12 stolen bases and 19 runs scored in his 39 games this season to go with a .289 batting average, six home runs, and a .354 wOBA. Ramirez continues to be an elite dual-threat option, and his fantasy managers should be thrilled to see him being so aggressive on the basepaths.

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez (ankle) is back at third base and in the three-hole for Cleveland in Sunday's series finale on the road in Toronto against the Blue Jays and right-hander Bowden Francis. Ramirez is back in there following a one-game absence on Saturday after he sprained his ankle landing on a base in Friday's game at Rogers Centre. Fantasy managers will want to get the six-time All-Star and five-time Silver Slugger back in their lineups in all formats on Sunday. The 32-year-old Dominican switch-hitter has been good but not great so far in 2025, slashing .274/.323/.451 with a .774 OPS, five long balls, 15 RBI, 14 runs scored and eight stolen bases in his first 113 at-bats. J-Ram has only faced Francis two times in his career and has one hit and one RBI.

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez (ankle) is not in Saturday's lineup when the Guardians continue a series against the Toronto Blue Jays. Ramirez suffered a right ankle sprain during Friday's contest against the Blue Jays and will be held out of action as a result. Fantasy managers should monitor his status leading up to Sunday's game. However, the team will likely opt to monitor his workload over the next week to ensure he does not face any setbacks. Through his first 31 games of the campaign, Ramirez has posted a .274/.323/.451 slash line with five doubles, five home runs, and eight stolen bases. Instead, Will Wilson will get the nod at the hot corner and bat eighth. He is not worth targeting in DFS facing Toronto right-hander Kevin Gausman.

Updating a previous report, Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez (ankle) was forced to exit early during Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. It appears Ramirez has suffered a mild right-ankle sprain while trying to beat out a single in the third inning. This probably isn't something that should land Ramirez on the injured list, so fantasy managers shouldn't need to panic. For now, Ramirez should be considered as day-to-day, but he could be placed on the shelf if it doesn't get better in a few days. Fantasy managers should expect Ramirez to probably sit out the rest of the weekend. Will Wilson took over at third base and might see more time over there the next few days.

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez (leg) left Friday's game early in the third inning against the Toronto Blue Jays with an apparent right-leg injury after he went into the first-base bag awkwardly while trying to avoid a throw from right-hander Chris Bassitt. Before departing, J-Ram went 2-for-2 with a stolen base. Gabriel Arias shifted from second base to third base, while Daniel Schneemann entered the game to play second base for Cleveland. The good news is that the 32-year-old Ramirez walked off the field under his own power, but that doesn't mean it isn't a significant injury. Fantasy managers will want to check back for more information on Ramirez's status, but don't expect him to be in the lineup for Game 2 of the series on Saturday. If J-Ram's injury requires an injured-list stint, both Arias and Schneemann would become everyday players on the infield for the Guardians.

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez had a big game in a 6-4 win over the New York Yankees on Monday. Ramirez went 2-for-5 with a homer and four RBI to help power his team to the win. The star infielder hit a three-run homer off New York starter Clarke Schmidt in the third inning to break a scoreless tie and then came back to add an RBI single in the sixth inning. Ramirez is now hitting .276 with five homers, 10 runs, 13 RBI, and three steals across 76 at-bats in 2025. He is starting to heat up at the plate with a .357 average over his past seven games. He remains a must-start fantasy option in all formats.

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez reminded everyone on Friday night in the Los Angeles Angels' home opener why he finished just one homer and one steal short of just the second-ever 40-40-40 season in 2024. In Cleveland's 8-6 win at Angel Stadium, Ramirez went 3-for-4 with three home runs, four RBI, three runs scored, a walk and a strikeout to raise his early-season average to .381 and his OPS to an absurd 1.488. It was the seven-time All-Star's 26th multi-homer performance but just the second time in his career he's homered thrice in one contest. The 32-year-old Dominican switch-hitter might not be very big (5-foot-8, 190 pounds), but he packs a punch and is one of the best all-around players in baseball. He heads into the second game of the series in Anaheim on Sunday with four homers, two doubles, six RBI and four runs scored in his first six games of the 2025 season.

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez finished last year with 39 home runs, 39 doubles and 41 stolen bases in 158 games, leaving him just shy of the elusive 40-40-40 club, which only Alfonso Soriano in 2006 was able to pull off. Ramirez said he worked even hard this past offseason to try and reach that unique goal. The 32-year-old Dominican is already a six-time All-Star and five-time Silver Slugger award winner. He said he's the same weight now as he was at the end of the 2024 season -- he's listed at 5-foot-9, 200 pounds -- but he was strict with his intake and increased his muscle mass while trimming body fat over the winter. J-Ram has been as dependable, durable and productive as any hitter in recent seasons, and he's played 681 of a possible 708 games from 2020-24. He's gotten off to a strong start in 2025, too, hitting .294 (5-for-17) with a homer, two doubles and two RBI in five games.

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez (wrist) looked perfectly fine at the plate in Monday's 7-2 loss to the Padres. Ramirez, who left Saturday's game with a wrist injury from an attempted stolen base, went 3-for-4 with a single, a double, a solo home run, and a strikeout. The 32-year-old got the Guardians on the board early, jumping on a first-inning Kyle Hart fastball and launching it into the left-field seats for his first long ball of the season. The performance was great from a fantasy production perspective, but more importantly, it showed that Ramirez is healthy and ready to go. Ramirez has been a consensus top fantasy pick for seasons and is a five-category contributor. It will be interesting to see how aggressive he is on the base paths early on after injuring his wrist while attempting to steal a base, but fantasy managers will gladly take any production while he is in their lineups.

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez (wrist) is back in the Guardians' lineup for Monday night's matchup against the San Diego Padres. Ramirez left Saturday's game with a wrist injury from stealing a base but has avoided serious injury and is ready to go. The 32-year-old will look to get his first hit of the year against Padres starter Kyle Hart, who has a 15.55 ERA in 11 IP. Fantasy managers and DFS managers alike should do all they can to get Ramirez in their lineup.

The imaging on Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez (wrist) all returned negative. Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reported that the 32-year-old could be available to pinch-hit on Sunday and "hopefully" return to the starting nine on Monday. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, but it appears Ramirez avoided a significant injury. The third baseman was pulled from Saturday's contest after suffering a right wrist sprain when attempting to steal a base. Gabriel Arias shifted over to the hot corner on Sunday and will likely see most of the opportunities at that position if Ramirez were to miss more time. Fantasy managers should expect the Guardians to exercise caution with their superstar infielder, which could result in him being held out of the lineup occasionally. When healthy, he should be viewed as a must-start option in all formats.

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez (wrist) is absent from the series finale on Sunday against the division-rival Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium after he suffered a sprained right wrist on a stolen-base attempt in the third inning of Saturday's game. The good news is that manager Stephen Vogt said Ramirez is just day-to-day, so perhaps there's a chance he'll be ready to play in Monday's series opener against the hosting San Diego Padres at Petco Park after sitting out on Sunday. "He's doing alright. It's a mild sprain...he's day to day...we all know what that means with Josey...gonna see how he feels in the morning...think I'm going to have to hold him down to keep him out of there," Vogt said. With J-Ram out, Gabriel Arias is at third and batting seventh, while Daniel Schneemann gets the start at second and will bat eighth against Royals veteran right-hander Michael Wacha.

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez (wrist) was pulled out early during Saturday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Ramirez appears to have suffered a right wrist sprain during his stolen base attempt earlier in the game. He remained in the game for a bit afterwards, but looked sluggish during his at-bat in the sixth inning. Gabriel Arias has taken over at third base and could see more time at the hot corner if Ramirez is forced to miss time. The expectation is that Guardians will give more information on his status following Saturday's game.
