Guardians third baseman José Ramírez is not in the lineup for Friday night’s game against the St. Louis Cardinals due to a bruised right forearm.

Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman hit Guardians superstar with José Ramírez on the right wrist with fastball. While the injury caused Ramírez to miss Cleveland's game on Friday (a lackadaisical 5-0 loss where they mustered one hit and committed two errors) he's back in the lineup today,

The Guardians' offense is mired in a miserable slump but the team is hopeful that Jose Ramírez's return restores order.
