Cleveland Guardians rest Jose Ramirez while monitoring Chase DeLauter wrist injury

The Cleveland Guardians are managing personnel concerns as the team competes for a spot in the American League wild card race. Veteran third baseman Jose Ramirez received a planned day off during Sunday’s game against the Detroit Tigers to ensure his recovery following earlier left hamate bone surgery. Meanwhile, rookie outfielder Chase DeLauter remains day-to-day after sustaining a right wrist sprain during Friday’s doubleheader. DeLauter experienced discomfort following a swing in the second game and is currently under medical observation. The team must monitor both players closely as the regular season concludes to maintain their current standing in the American League wild card race. Managing the workload of key starters is the priority for the organization heading into the final stretch of the schedule.
