TORONTO — The Cleveland Guardians put slugger Jose Ramírez on paternity go away Saturday, someday earlier than Father’s Day, and recalled outfielder Johnathan Rodríguez from Triple-A Columbus.
A five-time All-Star, Ramírez is batting .269 with a team-high 18 residence runs. His 62 RBIs rank second within the majors behind Aaron Choose (63) of the New York Yankees.
Ramírez returned to Cleveland after the Guardians beat Toronto 3-1 Friday to attend the delivery of his third baby.
He may miss as much as three days whereas on paternity go away.
Rodríguez was batting .307 with 12 residence runs and 46 RBIs in 53 video games at Triple-A.
