MILWAUKEE (AP) — Right shoulder tightness might be a reason behind New York Mets reliever AJ Ramos’ recent struggles.
Ramos traveled back to New York on Sunday to be seen by a doctor. The right-hander told the club about the tightness after allowing three runs and three hits while getting just two outs in a 17-6 loss Saturday to the Milwaukee Brewers, assistant general manager John Ricco said.
Ramos has given up eight runs in his last 4 2/3 innings. He also walked consecutive batters in a 4-3 loss to Milwaukee in 10 innings on Friday, skipping a 3-1 fastball into the dirt to force in the winning run.
