Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez (hand) missed Friday's game against the San Diego Padres because the team is managing his workload as he continues to progress from his hamate bone injury. While manager Stephen Vogt has said that the 33-year-old has been progressing well, the team must do what is best for everyone, which […]

San Francisco Giants shortstop Willy Adames (back) remained out of the starting lineup on Saturday as he continues to manage a lower-back strain.
