SEATTLE -- Hanley Ramirezs wrist bent, but luckily for the Boston Red Sox, it did not break.Ramirez jammed his left wrist while reaching to break a fall on a set of stairs leading from the dugout to the visiting clubhouse at Safeco Field after Tuesday nights 5-4 loss to the Seattle Mariners. Ramirez, who was playing first base, was taken immediately for an X-ray and underwent an MRI on Wednesday, both of which were negative for a fracture.The Red Sox sent the test results to Boston-based hand specialist Dr. Matthew Leibman, who diagnosed Ramirez with a sprain. Ramirez is sore and wont play for at least a few days, according to manager John Farrell, but he is not yet a candidate for the disabled list.I dont have that much swelling. Its just sore all the way around, Ramirez said Wednesday night after Bostons 3-1 loss to the Mariners. I want to be back in the lineup. Thats what Im here for. Its no fun when youre watching the game from the bench. Its not me. Ill go back and do whatever it takes to get ready.Said Farrell: Were going to give it every opportunity for him to get back in the lineup. He went down in here pretty hard [Tuesday] night. We wanted to be sure that we did a full exam that included all that imaging before we made any kind of comment. Structurally, hes sound, still sore.The freak incident occurred just as Ramirez was heating up at the plate. He has six homers in his past 13 games, including a solo shot in the fourth inning Tuesday night. Over his past 30 games, Ramirez is 34-for-108 (.315) with eight doubles, eight homers, a .408 on-base percentage and a 1.019 OPS.Ramirez said he just slipped -- and I dont know what happened.In Ramirezs absence Wednesday, Travis Shaw was in the lineup at first base and?Aaron Hill?was at third, an alignment that figures?to be used again in the series finale Thursday. But if Ramirez is unable to play this weekend, Farrell said the Red Sox will consider talking to David Ortiz about playing a game at first base at Dodger Stadium.The Sox have not started Ortiz in any of their four previous games in National League ballparks because of lingering concerns about his aching feet and heels. Dodger Stadium is the only active ballpark in which Ortiz doesnt have a hit. He went 0-for-3 during a three-game series there in 2013.Not closing the door on it, but we want to at least explore it with David and see where hes at, in addition to recommendation by our medical staff, Farrell said. Any feedback there will be factored in.
