White Sox stay with Alexei Ramirez despite struggles

MINNEAPOLIS -- Robin Ventura doesn’t believe Alexei Ramirez’s latest mistake is a result of the White Sox veteran being tired.

If that were the case, Ventura said he’d give Ramirez a day off. But the White Sox manager believes Ramirez’s throwing error in Monday’s loss was a mental mistake and thinks the shortstop is motivated to bounce back after his latest poor play -- even if it draws the ire of the team’s fans on social media.

“There are times when you do give him that day, and I don’t think this is that time,” Ventura said.
