• Hanley Ramirez: Heads to open market

  04/23/2019 • By RotoWire Staff

  Ramirez cleared waivers and elected free agency Tuesday, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports. Ramirez was designated for assignment Saturday after Francisco Lindor (calf/ankle) was activated from the injured list, and he went unclaimed on the waiver wire. Given Ramirez's decline at the dish in recent years, it may be difficult for the 35-year-old to find a new home in the big leagues.

• Indians' Hanley Ramirez: Time in Cleveland ends

  04/20/2019 • By RotoWire Staff

  The Indians designated Ramirez for assignment Saturday. Cleveland pulled the plug on Ramirez after a spot on the active roster was needed to facilitate star shortstop Francisco Lindor's (calf/ankle) return from the 10-day injured list. After attending camp on a minor-league deal, Ramirez won an Opening Day job as the team's everyday designated hitter, but he managed only a .625 OPS in 57 plate appearances. Assuming he goes unclaimed off waivers, the 35-year-old seems likely to be granted a release from the organization rather than accepting an assignment to Triple-A Columbus. Given his age, lack of defensive value and declining bat, it's possible Ramirez's time in the big leagues could be over.

• Indians' Hanley Ramirez: Sitting out series finale

  04/14/2019 • By RotoWire Staff

  Ramirez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports. Ramirez finds himself as the odd man out after the Indians called up veteran outfielder Carlos Gonzalez from Triple-A Columbus and inserted him into the lineup in the series finale. With a .179/.304/.359 slash line through 46 plate appearances this season, Ramirez hasn't provided the impact at designated hitter the Indians were counting on. Unless he's able to catch fire at the plate in the near future, Ramirez's spot on the roster could be on shaky ground.

Ramirez will rest for the second time in the series after previously getting the day off in Thursday's opener.
