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.
