Red Sox' Hanley Ramirez hits a solo-shot in return from illness

Boston Red Sox first baseman Hanley Ramirez hit his third home run of the season in Thursday's win over the Chicago White Sox.

What It Means:

That's back-to-back games with home runs for Ramirez, who hadn't gone yard in almost a month. It also brings him up to 17 RBI's and 15 runs scored on the season.

Ramirez hasn't had a great start to the year, with a 22.1 percent strikeout rate and .152 ISO that are well worse than his career averages. We project him to not fare much better, hitting .257/.311/.429 with a .318 wOBA over the remainder of the season.
