WILSON RAMOS NEWS

Signs with Atlantic League team Ramos agreed to a deal Tuesday with the Long Island Ducks of the independent Atlantic League.

Impact Ramos had been catching for Acereros de Monclova of the Mexican League, but he'll move to New York with designs on breaking back into MLB-affiliated ball. The 35-year-old former two-time All-Star last played in the majors in 2021, when he struggled to a .205/.248/.397 batting line in 44 games (163 plate appearances) between Detroit and Cleveland.

Undergoes surgery Ramos underwent surgery Wednesday to repair his torn ACL in his left knee, James Wagner of The New York Times reports.

Impact Ramos was diagnosed with a torn ACL and sprained MCL at the end of August and was placed on the 60-day injured list as a result. The 34-year-old had already undergone two surgeries to repair his ACL in the past, and it's not yet clear when he'll be ready to return as he prepares for free agency this winter.

Out for season Ramos suffered a torn ACL and sprained MCL in Sunday's win over the Red Sox, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Impact Ramos was filling in as depth behind the dish with Roberto Perez (hand) sidelined, but he'll now be forced to miss the remainder of the season. The 34-year-old appeared in 44 games with Detroit and Cleveland this year and slashed .205/.248/.397 with eight home runs, 20 RBI and 15 runs. He faces a lengthy recovery process and is slated to become a free agent during the offseason.

Not seeing much playing time Ramos has gone 2-for-21 in his last six games.

Impact The catcher has been unable to revitalize his career since joining Cleveland earlier in August. Ramos is slashing a meager .203/.247/.399 with eight home runs, 18 RBI and 15 runs scored through 160 plate appearances overall between Cleveland and Detroit. He'll remain in a backup role with Austin Hedges seeing most of the time behind the dish while Roberto Perez (shoulder) is on the mend.

Smacks homer in win Ramos went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Monday's 9-3 win over Cincinnati.

Impact The catcher has homered in both of his games with Cleveland so far, going 4-for-7 in that limited stretch. Ramos is likely to continue sharing time behind the dish with Austin Hedges while Roberto Perez (shoulder) is on the mend. For the year, Ramos has a .220/.261/.449 slash line with eight homers, 16 RBI, 14 runs scored and five doubles in 134 plate appearances between Detroit and Cleveland.

Homers in Cleveland debut Ramos went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a pair of singles in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Tigers.

Impact After having his contract selected by Cleveland on Aug. 6, the veteran catcher who last played with the Tigers on May 23 shook off the rust with a three-hit night against his former team. His home run came off Detroit closer Gregory Soto in the ninth inning, but wasn't enough to spark a rally. With Roberto Perez on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation, Ramos figures to serve as the backup catcher while Austin Hedges grabs the lion's share of the starts.

Signs MiLB deal with Cleveland Ramos signed a minor-league contract with Cleveland on Friday, Daniel Alvarez Montes of El Extrabase reports.

Impact Ramos was released by the Tigers on June 20 after he recovered from a back injury. The backstop struggled at the plate prior to landing on the injured list in late May, slashing just .200/.238/.392 across 126 plate appearances. He's still just two years removed from launching 15 homers while hitting .288/.351/.416 with the Mets, so there's certainly potential for him to improve on those early-season woes. Ramos seems likely to report to Triple-A Columbus, where he'll provide Cleveland with catching depth for the time being.
