Indiansuniform.Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported the 14-year veteran agreed to a minor league contract with the club Saturday.The Boston Red Sox designated Ramirez for assignment near the end of May to make room for 2008 American League MVP Dustin Pedroia. That ended the three-time All-Star's second stint with the team he debuted with in 2005 Carlton Fisk Jersey , as his most recent tenure came with high expectations after he signed a four-year, $88 million contract in November 2014.He sat out the remainder of the 2018 season. Meanwhile, the Red Sox set a franchise record with 108 regular-season wins en route a World Series title.After he underwentshoulder surgery in October 2017, the 35-year-old was hitting .254/.313/.395 with six home runs, seven doubles and 29 RBI in 44 games with the Red Sox. He started the season hitting .330 with three home runs, five doubles and 17 RBI through April but slumped through May with a .163 average and just five extra-base hits.Clevelandhas to be intrigued by some of Ramirez's splits. Five of his six home runs in 2018 came off right-handers, but he hit .333 against southpaws and .230 against righties. Not only that, but he also came up big in clutch situations. While hitting just .217 with the bases empty, he hit .294 with men on, .340 with runners in scoring position and .286 with runners in scoring position and two outs.He may no longer be the MVP candidate he once was, but he still has the ability to make an impact with his bat. He is, however, limited in the field. Despite having played shortstop Jose Abreu Jersey , third base and left field throughout his career, he has not played anything other than first base or DH in the last three seasons.Ramirez hasn't faced big league pitching since May, so he may need time to get his bat going. If Clevelandgives him at-bats, he may prove he can still be a difference-maker. DETROIT (AP) — Matthew Boyd pitched well on Jack Morris Day, but he was still worried about disappointing one of his idols.“I think he might be mad at me for only pitching six innings,” Boyd joked after the Detroit Tigers beat the Minnesota Twins 4-2 Sunday to win the weekend series.The game started 20 minutes late because of the ceremony to retire Morris’ No. 47 jersey. Morris and longtime teammate Alan Trammell were inducted into the Hall of Fame earlier this month.“I think it was great for all of our players to be able to watch that ceremony, and we’ll have them out there again in a couple weeks for Tram,” Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire said. “There was a lot of franchise history on that field.”Boyd (7-10) won for the third time in four starts, giving up one run on two hits and a walk in six innings. He struck out three.Boyd has talked to Morris several times for pitching advice, even though as a finesse lefty, he’s not much like the famed righty.“The theme of every conversation we’ve had is competing,” Boyd said. “Compete on every pitch, don’t get pushed around or intimidated and give your team a chance to win.“It was special to be able to go out there and pitch like that on his day Melky Cabrera Jersey ,” he said.Shane Greene pitched the ninth for his 25th save.Kohl Stewart (0-1) took the loss in his major league debut, allowing three runs on eight hits and a walk in 4 1/3 innings. He started his career with four scoreless innings, but after he got the first out in the fifth, the next five batters reached base.“I was really nervous leading up to the game, but after the first pitch, I thought I settled in,” he said. “I just needed to make a couple more pitches in the fifth inning and keep us in the game.”Twins manager Paul Molitor said Stewart should get at least one more start.“For his first time, I thought he composed himself pretty well,” Molitor said. “He had a little misfortune, but I think he’s very likely to get another chance.”The Twins took a 1-0 lead in the second when Mitch Garver tripled over JaCoby Jones‘ head in center field and scored on Johnny Field’s sacrifice fly.Grayson Greiner, Victor Reyes and Jeimer Candelario hit three straight singles with one out in the fifth to tie the score.Jose Iglesias beat out an infield single on the 10th pitch of his at-bat, loading the bases, and Niko Goodrum walked to give the Tigers the lead and end Stewart’s debut.“Iglesias is not a guy who strikes out Jeff Keppinger Jersey , so even when you are ahead, he can foul pitches off,” Molitor said. “It was a good battle, and Kohl kept pounding the sinker in there and got a ground ball, but not in a place where we could do anything.”Victor Martinez greeted Taylor Rogers with a sacrifice fly, making it 3-1.Max Kepler led off the eighth with a homer off Joe Jimenez, pulling the Twins within a run, but Ronny Rodriguez made it 4-2 with an RBI double in the bottom of the inning.“That was a huge hit for Ronny,” Gardenhire said. “He hasn’t played in a couple days, and he only came into this game after an injury, but he got us that big insurance run.”TRAINER’S ROOMTwins: LHP Adalberto Mejia (wrist) will have an MRI on Monday in Minnesota to try to determine a recovery plan.Tigers: Jones left the game after the third inning with a right hamstring strain. He injured himself chasing down Garver’s triple in the second inning and was undergoing tests after the game.MORRIS HONOREDMorris became the sixth Tigers player to have his number retired, with Trammell’s No. 3 scheduled for Aug. 26. Detroit has also retired manager Sparky Anderson’s No. 11 and a blank jersey for Ty Cobb.Morris, who won World Series championships for the Tigers (1984) and Twins (1991) http://www.whitesoxfanproshop.com/authentic-paul-konerko-jersey , finished his speech by thanking both teams.“It is a great honor to have this day in the city where I spent most of my career, and in front of two teams I love. Thank you and go Tigers and Twins,” he said.The Minnesota native will be honored by the Twins on Saturday, also before a game with the Tigers.UP NEXTTwins: Off on Monday before starting a two-game series at home against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Jake Odorizzi (4-7, 4.50) will start Tuesday against Pittsburgh’s Jameson Tallion (9-8, 3.83).Tigers: Start a three-game home series against the Chicago White Sox. Artie Lewicki (0-2, 4.76) will pitch for Detroit against Reynaldo Lopez (4-9, 4.30).
