MILWAUKEE (AP) -Chicago Cubs third baseman Aramis Ramirez dislocated his left shoulder diving for a grounder in the third inning of Friday night’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Ramirez made a nifty diving catch of Ryan Braun’s sharply hit grounder, but rolled over and immediately clutched his upper left arm and winced. Braun was safe at first after shortstop Ryan Theriot had to retrieve the ball.
Ramirez stayed down for several minutes before leaving and being replaced in the lineup by Aaron Miles. Second baseman Mike Fontenot shifted over to play third.
Two weeks ago, Ramirez strained his left calf running the bases and missed six games. Ramirez came in hitting .369 with four homers and 16 RBIs and had hits in five of his previous nine at-bats.
