Thu Apr 7 201622:57Indians hit the road with left field in flux
CLEVELAND -- The Indians will begin their first road trip, a six-game trip to Chicago and Tampa Bay, on Friday with their left field situation still in a state of flux. This is due to the injury to Michael Brantley, who is on the disabled list as he continues his recovery from offseason surgery on his right (non-throwing) shoulder.When Brantley will be activated off the DL is not certain. Indians officials declined to put any target date on his return, but the conventional wisdom is that he will likely be back sometime before the end of the month. Until then, Manager Terry Francona is faced with the challenge of making a daily decision on who should play left field.In the first two games of the season Francona used Marlon Byrd and Jose Ramirez as the starters in left field. Byrd was signed as a free agent halfway through spring training. In addition to Byrd, the other outfielders on the roster are Collin Cowgill, Rajai Davis, and Tyler Naquin. Lonnie Chisenhall, the expected starter in... [More]

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI, a walk and two runs scored in a win over the Twins.
Ramirez had an epic bat flip on his homer that the Twins took exception to, but fantasy owners don't care. With that said, his fantasy value is minimal at this point, as he sits with a .222 average and .348 slugging percentage in his limited time.
Mon Sep 28 201516:09Ramirez scratched from Monday's lineup against Twins
Ramirez was scratched from Monday's lineup against the Twins.
Ramirez was initially slated to bat fifth and play third base, but Mike Aviles will assume the hot corner duties in the new lineup. It's unclear if the 23-year-old suffered a late setback, but the move may have been a reaction to a late pitching change by the Twins, switching from the right-handed Phil Hughes to southpaw Tommy Milone.

Ramirez went 3-for-5 with a double, triple, RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 9-5 victory over the Royals.
The 23-year-old has had a rough season with the bat, but Saturday's performance was one of his best of the season. Ramirez's bat has been hot at the plate all month and is in the midst of a four-game stretch where he is hitting .421 (8-for-19) with two doubles, a triple, a homer, three RBI and six runs scored. His September average is also up to .333 after Saturday's effort, easily making it his most prolific month with the bat all season.

Ramirez will pick up a start at third base for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Tigers, MLive.com's Chris Iott reports.
Ramirez will be used at third base for the second time in three games, a sign that manager Terry Francona may be looking to replace Giovanny Urshela at that position. Regular starts had been more difficult to come by for Ramirez following Jason Kipnis' return from the DL, so if he can cut it defensively at third base, he may be in line for increased at-bats over the final few weeks.
Sun Aug 23 201510:41Ramirez not in lineup Sunday against Yankees
Ramirez is not in the lineup Sunday against the Yankees.
Ramirez will once again come off the bench, despite the fact that regular second baseman Jason Kipnis is getting the day off. A .567 season OPS simply wasn't enough to earn the 22-year-old a consistent role down the stretch, as he will have now been held out three times in the last five games.
Sat Aug 22 201511:45Ramirez will get start at third base and hit eighth Saturday aga...
Ramirez will get the start at third base and hit eighth Saturday against the Yankees, MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reports.
This will mark the fourth different position Ramirez has played for the Indians this season as they look to test his ability to serve as a utility player going forward. With second base and shortstop eligibility already accounted for, his third base eligibility in more liberal formats may not come as much use, but the fact that the Indians are finding more ways to get him in the lineup figures to increase his value down the stretch.
Wed Aug 19 201522:39Ramirez got start in left field Wednesday
Ramirez got the start in left field Wednesday, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
The return of Jason Kipnis has pushed Ramirez out of a regular spot in the lineup but he got a look in left field with Michael Brantley still limited to DH duties due to a balky shoulder. The Indians won't press Brantley into outfield duties so Ramirez could see further action in left field in the coming days.

Ramirez collected three hits and drove in three runs in Saturday's win over the Twins.
Ramirez should continue to see regular action at second base with Jason Kipnis on the DL. He's hit safely in four of his five starts since being recalled.
Mon Aug 3 201519:51Ramirez will receive start at second base and bat leadoff Monday...
Ramirez will receive the start at second base and bat leadoff Monday against the Angels, Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Ramirez's .243 on-base percentage with the Indians this season hardly makes him an ideal leadoff hitter, but with Michael Bourn no longer an ideal option at this stage of his career and manager Terry Francona content to keep the up-and-coming Francisco Lindor in the two-hole, the team doesn't really have many other appealing alternatives. The injury to Jason Kipnis should result in an extended opportunity for Ramirez to show that he can handle big-league pitching, but until he begins delivering results, his value will remain limited to very deep and AL-only formats.
Mon Aug 3 201518:46Ramirez recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Monday
Ramirez was recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Monday, Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
The Indians will bring Ramirez back to the big leagues after a sore shoulder resulted in Jason Kipnis landing on the DL. Ramirez is expected to receive the first crack at filling the vacancy at second base, though utility man Mike Aviles should also remain in the picture for playing time. The Tribe demoted Ramirez to the minors in mid-July after he scuffled to a .176/.243/.235 line with the big club, and his performance at Triple-A hasn't been much better of late, either. Ramirez had gone 6-for-40 (.150) over his previous 10 games prior to the call-up.
Thu Jul 16 201514:01Jose Ramirez: Sent To Triple-A
Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Thursday.
Ramirez was recalled prior to the All-Star break to fill in for Mike Aviles while he tended to a family matter. Aviles has now been reinstated, and Ramirez will head back to Columbus as a result.
Thu Jul 16 201512:01Jose Ramirez: Sent To Triple-A
Cleveland Indians shortstop Jose Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Thursday.
Cleveland Indians shortstop Jose Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Thursday. Ramirez had been called up prior to the All-Star break with Mike Aviles unavailable due to a personal matter, but with Aviles back in the fold, Ramirez returns to the Clippers, with whom he is hitting .349/.415/.477 in 28 games so far.
Sat Jul 11 201515:16Ramirez recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Saturday
Ramirez was recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Saturday, Zack Meisel of The Plain Dealer reports.
Ramirez will fill in for Mike Aviles, who was placed on the family emergency list. Although he's been playing well for Triple-A Columbus, Ramirez doesn't figure to get many at-bats during his stint with the big club, as Francisco Lindor is starting to hit.

Ramirez is hitting .360 (36-for-100) with 11 steals in 26 games since being demote to Triple-A Columbus.
Ramirez has split most of his time between second base and shortstop but recently made an appearance in center field for Triple-A in an effort to increase his versatility going forward. Francisco Lindor is struggling at the plate for the Indians but don't expect the Indians to make a switch any time soon.
Sun Jun 7 201518:14Ramirez optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday
Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday, Nick Camino of Newsradio WTAM 1100 reports.
Ramirez received an extended audition as the Indians' primary shortstop to begin the season, but his .180/.247/.240 slash line through 46 games has finally resulted in a demotion. All indications seem to point toward top prospect Francisco Lindor being recalled at some point this week, which could spell the end to any chance of Ramirez again seeing everyday at-bats as the Indians' shortstop.
Sun Jun 7 201511:59Ramirez out of lineup Sunday against Orioles
Ramirez is out of the lineup Sunday against the Orioles, MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reports.
Ramirez is sitting for the fourth time in five games, as manager Terry Francona may have turned the regular shortstop gig over to Mike Aviles. Both Aviles and Ramirez are just keeping the shortstop spot warm for top prospect Francisco Lindor, but even in deeper leagues, it may be tough to wring much fantasy value from Ramirez with an everyday role no longer guaranteed.
Thu Jun 4 201516:42Ramirez out of lineup Thursday against Royals
Ramirez is out of the lineup Thursday against the Royals, The Plain Dealer reports.
Mike Aviles has now started three of the last four games, though it's worth noting that the previous two starts came against left-handed pitchers. With Ramirez still struggling at the plate, Aviles may start to get more playing time against right-handers.
Wed Jun 3 201517:32Ramirez out of lineup Wednesday against Royals
Ramirez is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Royals.
Ramirez's rough stretch at the plate continues to make him a liability in the everyday lineup. He's now gone 4-for-26 over the last ten games, and will take a seat for Wednesday's game against the Royals in favor of Mike Aviles at shortstop. If he can't turn things around at the plate, Aviles could begin seeing more starts in his place.
