Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez has left hand surgery

Cleveland Guardians All-Star third baseman Jose Ramirez underwent surgery Tuesday to remove the hook of a broken hamate bone in his left hand. The team said the procedure was performed in Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania. Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said before Tuesday's game that the team had known surgery would be required.

Injury details Ramirez suffered the injury during the fifth inning of Saturday's 3-1 win over the Detroit Tigers when he fouled out on a popup to Tigers catcher Dillon Dingler. It is only the second time in Ramirez's 14 big league seasons that he has been placed on the injured list.

The seven-time All-Star also broke the hamate bone in his right hand in 2019 and missed only a month. The normal recovery time after surgery is five to seven weeks. Ramirez, a 33-year-old native of the Dominican Republic, has played in a franchise-record 1,681 games.

He is the only player in Cleveland's 125-year history to have at least 300 stolen bases and 250 home runs.

Additional roster moves Cleveland also placed outfielder Angel Martínez on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a nondisplaced fracture in his left foot. Martínez's injury occurred during Saturday's game after he fouled off a pitch. Martínez, who leads the Guardians with 11 homers, could be out four to six weeks, Vogt said.

Outfielder Chase DeLauter suffered a rib injury Saturday when he collided with the outfield wall. Tests showed bone bruising and a small fracture, but DeLauter was not placed on the injured list. Outfielder Petey Halpin was called up from Triple-A Columbus.
