Ramirez exits game with apparent leg injury
CHICAGO -- The Padres' injury-riddled infield took another hit on Tuesday night, as shortstop Alexei Ramirez exited the game against the Cubs in the fifth inning with an apparent leg injury.
The Padres already have four infielders -- Cory Spangenberg, Yangervis Solarte, Alexi Amarista and Jemile Weeks -- on the disabled list and can ill-afford to lose Ramirez.
Ramirez sustained the injury after driving in Jose Pirela with a double in the fifth. (Pirela's inclusion on the roster is a direct result of the the Padres' injury woes.)
Ramirez was replaced by backup shortstop Adam Rosales -- San Diego's lone remaining bench player, capable of playing second, short or third.
