Despite positive results from X-rays taken on Saturday, third baseman Aramis Ramirez is one Cub with a flawed paw. Ramirez didn’t play in Saturday or Sunday’s games against the Cardinals after taking a pitch off his wrist on Friday night.
”It’s a little better, but I can’t play,” Ramirez told the Chicago Sun-Times. The initial fear was that the wrist might be broken, but while aforementioned X-rays showed it was not, he struggled with his grip Saturday.
He’s being considered day-to-day, but should fantasy owners assume he’ll make a quick return to the lineup? Even if he does, will lingering effects from the injury have a significant impact on his numbers. I believe he could return this week, but from experience of dealing with wrist injuries to past players on my fantasy teams, they are a shell of their typical self until that injury completely subsides. While some fantasy owners won’t have a plethora of options to consider before setting their lineup on Monday, I would find a different option for the coming week if I were an A-Ram owner.
