Hanley Ramirez doesn’t need a stint on the disabled list, but he can’t throw too much or his shoulder hurts, Red Sox manager John Farrell said on Monday.
He may or may not be available to play first base when the Sox are in Philadelphia on Wednesday and Thursday, but Farrell said he hadn’t yet talked to Ramirez about it. The Phillies are throwing all right-handed starters against the Red Sox, so on paper it doesn’t make a ton of sense to force Ramirez in the lineup.
"I’m not ruling it out at this point," Farrell said.
