The Red Sox are rock stars »
September 28, 2007
Red Sox slugger Manny Ramirez, who recently returned to the lineup after missing 24 games with a strained oblique, was taken out of tonight's game with a sore quad. Manager Terry Francona said he knew Ramirez was sore prior to the game, but he was still able to get three much-needed at-bats in. He was taken out of the game in the top of the eighth inning as he was expected to lead off the bottom of the inning.
"We tried to sneak in that last at-bat," said the manager. "I knew he was sore, nothing pulled or anything. It just got to a point where it was time for him to come out. We're trying to continue to build and not go backwards. The more at-bats we can get him, the better off we're all going to be."
Ramirez was not at the ballpark for the celebration.
