Hanley Ramirez getting day off Wednesday as Red Sox duel with Detroit

Boston Red Sox first baseman/left fielder Hanley Ramirez is not in the starting lineup Wednesday afternoon against the Detroit Tigers.

What It Means:

Travis Shaw will take over at first and Aaron Hill will man the hot corner for Boston. It's no more than a standard day off for Ramirez, who is enjoying a .306/.411/.645 slash (73 plate appearances) so far in July.

Ramirez currently ranks 72nd in the majors with a 1.19 nERD. Our models currently project him to hit .264/.336/.445 with a .341 wOBA in 247 more appearances at the plate over the remainder of the season.
