| Player Notes |
| September 25, 2007 Manny Ramirez, who has missed the last 24 games with a strained oblique muscle, will return to the lineup tonight against Oakland, according to the AP. Manager Terry Francona will bat Manny second in order to hopefully get the slugger an extra at-bat before Jacoby Ellsbury replace him in left field later in the game. |
| September 25, 2007 Manny Ramirez took batting practice on Monday, although manager Terry Francona would not comment on when the slugger would be ready to return to the lineup, according to the Boston Herald. At this point, you have to wonder if he'll play again before the regular season ends, much less be ready for the playoffs. |
| September 21, 2007 Manny Ramirez, out with an oblique injury, is not expected to play this weekend, according to the AP. "I'd say it's unlikely," Boston manager Terry Francona said. "That's probably the best answer. I don't see it happening." Manny has been taking batting practice, but his oblique still bothers him when he runs. The Red Sox seem hopeful that they'll have Manny for the playoffs, but it remains to be seen in what condition he'll be in. |
| September 19, 2007 Manny Ramirez still felt pain from his oblique injury after doing some running drills on Monday, putting a timetable for his return on hold, according to the Boston Herald. "When he runs he feels it," Francona said. "It has not gone away.... Running yesterday didnt go as well as he had hoped." The wise move may be to just hold Manny out until the playoffs, although the fact that the Yankees are now only 2.5 games back in the race for AL East title may cause the Sox to think otherwise. |
| September 18, 2007 The Red Sox continue to be cautious with Manny Ramirez, who has been out since August 28 with an oblique injury. "He needs to clear himself," manager Terry Francona told the Boston Herald. "The medical people have gotten fairly aggressive, and he's swung the bat fairly aggressive, but there has to be a peace of mind and confidence from himself that he can go play the game and not hurt himself. You can really make some disastrous mistakes trying to read somebody else's body." There is still no firm date for Manny's return. |
| September 17, 2007 Manny Ramirez, out with an oblique strain, is still several days away from returning to action, according to Newsday. Manny wanted to go out on a minor-league rehab stint, but manager Terry Francona had to inform Ramirez that the minor league season was over. |
| September 16, 2007 Manny Ramirez, who is battling on oblique injury, will do soft-toss drills at different speeds and various locations prior to Sunday's game, according to the Boston Herald. It remains to be seen when he'll be ready to return to action, but we should get a better idea as to how the muscle will hold up after today's drils. |
| September 13, 2007 Manny Ramirez, who has been out of the lineup since August 28 with a strained oblique, took batting practice Wednesday for the first time since suffering the injury, according to the Boston Herald. "We've been talking all week about keeping things controlled," manager Terry Francona said. "And after in the (batting) cage, he felt like he could get out there. Thats a real good sign for him." It's possible he'll rejoin the Red Sox by the end of the team's homestand. |
| September 11, 2007 Manny Ramirez, who has been dealing with a strained oblique, swung a bat Monday for the first time since Aug. 28, according to the Boston Herald. It's possible he'll rejoin the Red Sox by the end of the team's homestand. |
| September 10, 2007 Manny Ramirez left the Red Sox over the weekend to tend to a personal matter but was expected to rejoin them Sunday afternoon. The club hopes that Manny will be able to soon resume baseball activities, like hitting off a tee, according to the Boston Herald. He's still recovering from a strained left oblique, and it's not clear when we will see him back in action. |
| September 5, 2007 Red Sox slugger Manny Ramirez will not make the trip with the team to Baltimore for a four game series that begins Thursday, according to the Boston Herald. Ramirez has missed the past week of games with a strained left oblique. |
| September 2, 2007 Manny Ramirez was out of the lineup again on Sunday, the fifth straight game he's missed with a strained muscle in his left side. Ramirez previously told the Boston Herald that he expects to miss about 10 games, so don't expect the outfielder to get back in the action until the end of the week. |
| August 31, 2007 Manny Ramirez missed his third straight game on Friday with a strained muscle in his left side. He underwent an MRI exam Friday, but manager Terry Francona said results hadn't been received. "These types of things can be a week, they can be two weeks. You don't know" how long Ramirez will be out, he said. |
| August 30, 2007 Manny Ramirez was not in the lineup Wednesday because of a strained muscle on his left side, the AP reports. He'll likely be sidelined for several days. "I don't know. Maybe a week?" Ramirez said. The slugger came out of Tuesday night's game after aggravating the injury. |
| August 29, 2007 Manny Ramirez left Tuesday's game in the seventh inning due to spasms in his lower back, the AP reports. It's not clear how long Ramirez will be out. He had two hits, including a homer, before leaving the game. |
| August 22, 2007 Manny Ramirez might get a day off Wednesday, the AP reports. "Probably," Terry Francona said. "He could use it." Ramirez is hitting .244 in August, with just one home run. |
| June 10, 2007 Manny Ramirez was scratched Saturday at Arizona, one day after taking a pitch off the wrist, the AP reports. Ramirez is considered a game-time decision for Sunday. |
| May 14, 2007 Manny Ramirez was back in the starting lineup for the Red Sox on Monday after leaving Sunday's contest in the eighth inning with a tight hamstring, according to the AP. He went 1-for-5 with an RBI on the night. |
| May 14, 2007 The hamstring injury that forced Manny Ramirez out of Sunday's game appears to be very mild, and he should be back in the lineup tonight, according to the Boston Globe. "That's probably me being overprotective," manager Terry Francona said. "He got a little tight [in his hamstring]. I don't think it's anything to worry about. We weren't doing much and, again, you're not mailing it in, but it is a long year. I just told him to go ahead and be ready for tomorrow." |
| May 13, 2007 Manny Ramirez came out of Sunday's game after eight innings with a tight hamstring, according to the AP. This injury doesn't appear to be serious, but it's unclear if he'll be in the lineup on Monday against Detroit. |
| May 7, 2007 Even though he didn't want to sit, Manny Ramirez got a routine day off Sunday, according to the Boston Globe. "We had been going back and forth suggesting days for the past 10 days," Francona said. "We've got to [sit him] at some point. I told him what I want it to be is the best for you physically. We kind of went back and forth on it last night and today. Then he finally said the two days in a row will do me some good." Hopefully Ramirez can shake off his .245 batting average and turn things on when he returns after Monday's off-day. |
| April 25, 2007 Terry Francona wanted to give Manny Ramirez a routine day off Wednesday but Ramirez talked the skipper out of it, the Red Sox official site reports. Ramirez wound up going 1-for-4 with a couple of RBI. |
| February 28, 2007 Despite all of the trade requests in the past, it appears though, at least for now, Manny Ramirez is happy in Boston, according to the Boston Herald. "Manny is at peace with his situation in Boston," said Gene Mato, one of Ramirez's representatives, yesterday. "He has indicated to me that he would look forward to the opportunity to retire in a Boston uniform." Of course, as we all know, Manny's attitude can turn at any time, so enjoy this while it lasts. |
| February 27, 2007 Beginning in December, Manny Ramirez began taking batting practice five days a week, according to the Boston Herald. In previous offseasons, Manny never even picked up a bat. The extra work reportedly came from a desire to show more production early in the season. |
| February 26, 2007 Manny Ramirez showed up at spring training this morning, three days earlier than expected, according to the Boston Globe. He took some light batting practice and joined the Red Sox to work out. |
| February 22, 2007 Red Sox manager Theo Epstein has confirmed that Manny Ramirez will arrive late to training camp, because the slugger's mother is set to undergo surgery, according to the Boston Globe. "Manny's going to be here ready to go March 1," Epstein said. "He's got a family situation. I think the important thing from our perspective at this point is when he does show up on March 1, he's ready to go and is accountable to his teammates, accountable to the organization." |
| February 19, 2007 Red Sox pitcher Julian Tavarez said on WBZ-TV that Manny Ramirez will not report to camp until March 1, because Ramirez's mother is undergoing surgery, according to the Boston Globe. Manager Terry Francona said he hadn't heard that information, though the last information he received was that Ramirez was in terrific shape and prepared to arrive on time. |
