Cleveland Guardians perennial All-Star third baseman Jose Ramirez will be placed on the injured list after sustaining a hamate bone fracture in his left hand during Saturday's 3-1 home win over the Detroit Tigers.

Ramirez sustained the injury on a swing and left the game at the start of the sixth inning.

"He had a similar injury, I think, to his right hand a few years ago," Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said after the game. "He tried to go back out. He knew the position we were in, grabbed his glove and said, 'Maybe I can still play defense,' but he couldn't squeeze his glove. Hosey wanted to get back out there to help us win that game. He just couldn't."

Ramirez, 33, has earned an All-Star nod in seven of the last nine seasons, including each of the last five. This season, though, hasn't been his strongest to date, batting .239 (his worst average since 2015) with 10 homers and 33 RBIs in 72 games.

He's a career .278 hitter with 295 home runs and 982 RBIs in 1,681 regular-season games with Cleveland over the last 14 seasons.

Recovery from surgery to repair a hamate bone fracture usually takes between four and eight weeks.

It was a devastating day on the injury front for Cleveland, which also saw outfielders Chase DeLauter (right rib contusion) and Angel Martinez (left foot bruise) exit with injuries earlier in the game.
