MLB notebook: Indians' Ramirez (hand surgery) out 5-7 weeks

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez has been ruled out for the rest of the regular season after undergoing surgery for a broken hamate bone in his right hand.

He is expected to miss five to seven weeks but possibly could return if the Indians reach the American League playoffs that begin Oct. 1.

Ramirez's surgery was performed Monday by Dr. Thomas Graham in New York. On his Instagram account, Ramirez gave a thumbs-up and wrote, "Thanks to Dr. Graham and his team. The surgery went well. Thanks for all your wishes and Messages. Can't Wait to be back with the team."

With Ramirez out of the lineup, the Indians will play rookie Yu Chang, who was called up from Triple-A Columbus on Saturday night, and utility man Mike Freeman at third base.

--Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner received a one-game suspension and an undisclosed fine from Major League Baseball for making contact with plate umpire Rob Drake during Los Angeles' Monday night game against the San Diego Padres.

Turner will appeal the suspension that was announced by Joe Torre, MLB's chief baseball officer. Batting with two outs in the top of the ninth, Turner made compact with Drake when the umpire's called third strike ended the game, a 4-3 Padres win.

"I asked him, 'You call that a strike?'" Turner said in a Los Angeles Times article. "He told me it was right down the middle, which was pretty upsetting. If he thinks that's down the middle .... no matter, he was missing a lot of pitches throughout the night."

--Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta, who on Saturday went on the 10-day injured list, will undergo season-ending surgery on his right shoulder, manager Torey Lovullo said.

Peralta, who went on the IL for the third time this season with right AC joint inflammation, missed three weeks in July with an injury to his right shoulder.

Peralta, 32, batted .275 with 12 homers, 29 doubles and 57 RBIs in 99 games. He had career-best totals of 30 homers and 87 RBIs in 2018.

--Former All-Star second baseman Scooter Gennett's stay with the San Francisco Giants didn't last long. Acquired from the Cincinnati Reds at the July 31 trade deadline, Gennett was placed on unconditional release waivers as the Giants made several moves.

Infielder Mauricio Dubon, 25, acquired in a July 31 trade with the Milwaukee Brewers for pitcher Drew Pomeranz, was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento, along with right-handed relief pitcher Tyler Rogers and outfielder Joey Rickard.

Pitcher Trevor Gott (right elbow strain) was placed on the 10-day injured list, and infielder Abiatal Avelino was optioned to Sacramento.
