Wilson Ramos

Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch didn't want to talk about the Wilson Ramos situation. "He's not coming back for a bit," Hinch said before Friday's 5-4 loss to the Chicago White Sox in extra innings at Comerica Park. "He played his first extended game, so we'll tackle that one when it's a little bit more relevant on the day to day."

The Detroit Tigers placed catcher Wilson Ramos on the 10-day injured list with a lumbar spine strain. Ramos just returned from the IL last week for the same injury. Eric Haase and Jake Rogers will share catching duties while Ramos is sidelined. Haase will catch right-hander Spencer Turnbull and bat fifth in Monday's series opener against left-hander Sam Hentges and the Cleveland Indians.

He launched six homers in his first nine games, making him the league leader in that department early in the year. That said, he has cooled off considerably since then. He hasn’t hit a single homer over his past 26 contests, which has dropped his wRC+ to just 71 for the year. That puts him on pace for the second-worst offensive season of his 12-year career.

Tigers outfielder Victor Reyes went to Triple-A Toledo to figure out his timing. The physical adjustment was small — more about finding consistency and less about swing changes. He felt disappointed when the Tigers demoted him May 8 to the minor leagues, but he knew it wouldn't be long before he returned, if he performed.

Ramos was placed on the 10-day injured list with a lumbar spine strain Monday. Ramos had started each of the last six games and went 2-for-23 with two RBI, a run, a walk and six strikeouts during that time. He missed 10 days with the same injury earlier in the month, but it's not yet clear whether he'll spend more than 10 days on the shelf this time around. Eric Haase is starting behind the plate and batting fifth Monday, and he could serve as the primary catcher while Ramos and Grayson Greiner (hamstring) are sidelined. Left-hander Derek Holland (shoulder) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Ramos will serve as the designated hitter and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Royals. Ramos will serve as the DH for the second time in the weekend series, as the Tigers are being cautious with the 33-year-old in his return from the injured list after dealing with a back injury. Expect him to continue splitting time between catcher and DH the rest of the season.

The Detroit Tigers activated catcher Wilson Ramos from the 10-day injured list for a lumbar spine sprain. Ramos only required a minimum stay on the IL.

The Detroit Tigers activated catcher Wilson Ramos from the 10-day injured list on Monday, hours before their game at the Seattle Mariners.

To make room for Ramos on the 26-man roster, reliever Alex Lange was sent to Triple-A Toledo after Sunday's loss to the Cubs.

The Detroit Tigers have shuffled around their roster a little bit in recent days since the organization opted to part ways with Franklin Perez. A flurry of moves shifted the catchers in the organization around with injuries to Wilson Ramos and Grayson Greiner. But after a few days passed, the...

Ramos (back) was activated from the injured list Monday and will bat sixth and serve as the designated hitter against the Mariners, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports. Ramos' lumbar strain wasn't considered a particularly serious one, so it's no surprise to see him back in action after the minimum 10 days. His .227/.265/.464 line prior to the injury isn't exactly designated hitter material, but the Tigers aren't exactly loaded with proven bats. He'd started at the position six times prior to Monday's contest, and it wouldn't be a surprise if he continued to start there frequently going forward.
