Vogt Sticking With Ramirez Despite Slump | Cleveland News

Guardians manager Stephen Vogt is doubling down on Jose Ramirez despite his recent slump, moving him up to the second spot against lefties and betting he’s close to his old self. Ramirez, recovering from hand surgery and hitting just .219 since returning, remains a cornerstone for the team — even as rookies Travis Bazzana and Chase DeLauter, veteran Steven Kwan, and even ninth-inning bat Brayan Rocchio step up with clutch production. With the Guardians in a tight race for first and a wild card spot with just 14 games left, Vogt’s faith in Ramirez’s eventual return is clear — and the whole team’s depth gives them confidence they can weather any bumps while still contending.
