Erasmo Ramirez leaves game with groin strain

The injury bug appears to have hit the Rays again.

Erasmo Ramirez left the game one batter into the fourth inning today with an apparent injury that Todd Kalas reported on the broadcast as being a "right groin strain." After the 1-2 pitch to Francisco Lindor, Ramirez winced on the follow-through and grabbed his groin before being lifted, although as I rewatch the inning, I see that Ramirez also followed through gingerly on the previous pitch.

Community member Landlord pointed out in our game thread that Ramirez may have begun to injure his groin while covering first on a Michael Brantly groundout in the first inning.
