Ramirez is not in the lineup Thursday against the White Sox due to a sore right wrist, Paul Hoynes of Cleveland.com reports.
It's unclear when the issue cropped up on Ramirez, but it's apparently serious enough to keep him out for Thursday's series finale. The Indians want to make sure Ramirez is healthy for the stretch run, so he could be held out for the next couple of games as a precaution, according to Tribe manager Terry Francona. Yandy Diaz and Erik Gonzalez should see starts around the infield with Ramirez sidelined.
