Morning sports update: Hanley Ramirez to skip World Baseball Classic

Hanley Ramirez’s sore shoulder will keep him out of the World Baseball Classic, but it didn’t stop him from contributing a home run in the Red Sox’ 19-2 rout against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Sore shoulder will keep Hanley Ramirez out of World Baseball Classic: “I want to go to represent my country, but the main key is to get healthy and to get ready for the season,” the Red Sox first baseman/designated hitter said yesterday. “I’ve been getting a lot of treatment, and we’re moving forward.” (Boston Herald)

Happy B-Day, Hank!
