| Miami, FL (MySportsbook) - Florida Marlins shortstop Hanley Ramirez left Wednesday's 14-2 win over the Houston Astros with a left shoulder strain. Ramirez homered in his first two at-bats before striking out in the fourth. Before the start of the fifth, Alfredo Amezaga shifted from center field to shortstop and highly touted prospect Cameron Maybin made his Florida debut, replacing Amezaga in the outfield. Ramirez is batting .296 with 32 home runs and 66 RBI in 148 games this season. |
