Alexei Ramirez went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored against the Twins on Monday.

With Jeff Keppinger hitting as poorly as anyone in the majors, Ramirez is getting a little look in the second spot in the White Sox lineup. He's not ideal there, but his fantasy value will get a nice boost for as long as he remains in the spot. May 13 - 11:44 PM

Alexei Ramirez - SS - White Sox

Alexei Ramirez - SS - White Sox

Alexei Ramirez has been diagnosed with a right shoulder bruise and is considered day-to-day.

Ramirez suffered the minor injury on Wednesday when he was struck by a pitch. He should be ready for Opening Day, but there's no way to guarantee such a thing.

Alexei Ramirez - SS - White Sox

Alexei Ramirez left Wednesday's Cactus League game after he was hit in the right shoulder by a pitch.

Uh oh. Ramirez hit the ground and appeared to be in quite a bit of pain. The White Sox figure to provide an update on his status soon, but this is obviously not what you want to see with Opening Day just five short days away.

Alexei Ramirez left Friday's Cactus League game after he was hit by a throw into second base on a double.

Angel Sanchez replaced him in the lineup. It appears that the White Sox are just playing things safe, so consider him day-to-day for now.

Alexei Ramirez - SS - White Sox

Alexei Ramirez swiped his 20th base of the season on Thursday, but it came in a heartbreaking defeat at the hands of the Rays.

He finished the night 1-for-4. Ramirez has established himself as one of the strongest offensive shortstops in the league, hitting .267/.289/.369 with nine homers, 71 RBI and 20 steals on the year. It’s the first time that he’s reached the 20-steal plateau in his career.

Alexei Ramirez - SS - White Sox

Alexei Ramirez went 3-for-4 with two RBI for the second straight day on Thursday.

Ramirez has hit .305 with six homers in 190 at-bats since the All-Star break. Since he's batting low in the order for the most part, he's still not amassing particularly good run and RBI numbers. However, his play has improved steadily after an awful start.

Alexei Ramirez - SS - White Sox

Alexei Ramirez (wrist) went 1-for-4 in his return to action Sunday against the Rangers.

Ramirez missed Saturday's game because of left wrist soreness. It was never a major concern for Chicago.

Alexei Ramirez - SS - White Sox

Alexei Ramirez (wrist) is expected to return to the lineup Sunday.

Ramirez and Alejandro De Aza are both nursing left wrist injuries following a collision Friday, but Ramirez's is the milder of the two. The shortstop will test the wrist out in batting practice before being cleared.

Alexei Ramirez - SS - White Sox

Alexei Ramirez went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer, helping to lead the White Sox to a 9-5 victory over the Rangers on Friday.

His two-run blast off Alexi Ogando in the ninth inning provided valuable insurance runs, making a Ranger comeback extremely unlikely. Ramirez got off to an insanely slow start to the season, but has really turned things around over the last two months. Since June 1, he's hitting .315 (56-for-178) with three homers and 24 RBI.

Sat, Jul 28, 2012 12:43:00 AM

Alexei Ramirez - SS - White Sox

Alexei Ramirez went 3-for-5 with a triple and two RBI in Sunday's loss to the Blue Jays.

Ramirez tripled home two runs in the fifth inning of Chicago's 11-9 loss. The big day was a capper to perhaps the most disappointing half of Ramirez's career, though he's still managed 44 RBI in 83 games, and is hitting .444 since July 1. He's a decent buy-low candidate heading into the second half.

Sun, Jul 8, 2012 06:30:00 PM

Alexei Ramirez - SS - White Sox

Alexei Ramirez doubled twice and drove in two runs to lead the White Sox to a 4-3 victory over the Rays on Wednesday.

The White Sox earned a three-game sweep in St. Pete, winning two of the games by one run. Ramirez has had multiple hits in four of the last five games, raising his average to .228. That doesn't seem like much, but it's the highest he's been since April 24. He still figures to be a decent enough mixed-league MI option this year.

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Tyler Flowers
	2	Hector Gimenez
1B	1	Paul Konerko
2B	1	Gordon Beckham D.L. Gordon Beckham (hand) started at shortstop Monday in his third rehab game with Triple-A Charlotte. Beckham played shortstop in college and as a prospect, but he has never done so in the majors. Of course, Alexei Ramirez is in the second year of a four-year, $32.5 million contract, so there would have to be an injury or a trade for him to get a look there with the big club. Still, it's an interesting development. Beckham is hitting .462 (6-for-13) with one double and two RBI over three rehab games and should be activated this weekend. May 21
	2	Tyler Greene
SS	1	Alexei Ramirez
	2	Angel Sanchez D.L. Angel Sanchez (back) is nearing a rehab assignment. Sanchez was placed on the disabled list back on April 14 with a lower back strain and is finally feeling significant improvement. He figures to need quite a few rehab games before being activated. May 14

Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	Chris Sale Sidelined Chris Sale has been scratched from Wednesday's scheduled start against the Red Sox due to mild tendinitis in his left posterior shoulder. It's obviously a tough break for Sale's fantasy owners, but the good news is that the move is viewed as precautionary and he's expected to be ready to start next Tuesday. Hector Santiago will get the ball Wednesday in Sale's place. He'll be pitching on three days' rest. May 21
	2	Jake Peavy
	3	John Danks D.L. John Danks (shoulder) went 4 2/3 innings Saturday in his third minor league rehab start. If everything checks out with the left-hander early this week, he should be cleared to join the White Sox starting rotation on Friday night against the Marlins. Danks has been on the shelf all year and makes for a decent waiver stash right now in AL-only fantasy leagues. Since he's coming off shoulder surgery and still rebuilding his arm strength, it might not be wise to trust him right out of the gate in standard mixed formats. Even against Miami. May 20
	4	Gavin Floyd D.L. Gavin Floyd underwent successful surgery Wednesday to repair the ulnar collateral ligament and flexor muscle in his right elbow. The surgeon told the White Sox that the operation "could not have gone better." However, since he needed two major areas operated on, the recovery is expected to be 14-19 months rather than the standard 12 months for Tommy John surgery. With that timetable, Floyd probably shouldn't be counted on for a whole lot in 2014. He'll be a free agent over the winter. May 8
