FORT MYERS, Fla. — Minnesota Twins pitcher Erasmo Ramirez has been sidelined due to a serious shoulder injury that could keep him off the field for a substantial period. The team’s head trainer, Nick Paparesta, shared updates on Saturday, explaining that Ramirez has sustained a significant tear in his shoulder. It will take several weeks before he undergoes another examination to assess his recovery progress.
Ramirez, 34, joined the Twins on a minor league deal during the offseason, eyeing a spot in their bullpen lineup. The seasoned MLB player, who has been in the league for 13 years, contributed to the Tampa Bay Rays last season. He appeared in a total of 13 games and recorded a 3-0 win-loss tally along with a 4.35 ERA.
This development comes as a setback for the Twins, given Ramirez’s experience and potential impact. Fans and the team alike are hopeful for a positive recovery and eventual return to play, though the timeline remains uncertain until further evaluations are conducted.
