Hanley Ramirez Injures Left Wrist; Update Reportedly Coming Wednesday

Hanley Ramirez Feels Power Surge Coming After Homer: ‘Get Your Ticket’
BOSTON — Hanley Ramirez’s power may have dipped so far this season, but his confidence certainly hasn’t. The Red Sox first baseman entered Wednesday’s game against the Baltimore Orioles with just four home runs, 35 RBIs and a lackluster .378 slugging percentage, which would be the lowest of his career if the season ended Wednesday afternoon. Fortunately for Ramirez, it didn’t, and he gave those numbers a boost by absolutely crushing a three-run homer over the Green Monster in the third inning to help lift Boston to a 6-4 win. Ramirez’s blast, which came on a slider from Orioles starter Kevin Gausman, was his first homer since May 10. ...
