Tigers Place Wilson Ramos On 10-Day IL, Reinstate Derek Holland

By Mark Polishuk | May 24, 2021 at 2:25pm CDT

The Tigers placed catcher Wilson Ramos on the 10-day injured list due to a lumbar spine strain.  Ramos will be replaced on the active roster by southpaw Derek Holland, who is returning from an IL stint of his own due to a shoulder strain.

This is the second time this month that Ramos has been sidelined by the same injury.  Ramos’ previous IL stint lasted the minimum ten days before he was activated on May 17, but clearly something wasn’t quite right, as he hit only .087 over 24 plate appearances after his return.

Ramos signed a one-year, $2MM free agent deal with the Tigers during the offseason, and got off to a very strong start in his first few weeks in Motown before cooling off at the plate.  With the brutal stretch between his IL stints now severely weighing down his numbers, Ramos has a .200/.238/.392 slash line over 128 PA in 2021.

Ramos had mostly been serving as a designated hitter after his return from the injured list, and thus the Tigers have already had three catchers on the roster.  Eric Haase and Jake Rogers will now officially be handling all the catching duties until Ramos is healthy.

Holland signed a minors deal with Detroit and ended up making the Opening Day roster, giving the veteran left-hander a 13th Major League season under his belt.  Holland has struggled to a 13.00 ERA over nine innings, pitching mostly as a reliever.

    Holland wouldn’t be successful in an old timers game. Not a MLB level pitcher.

    Holland might have to go to Holland for his next pitching job.

      I was there this weekend (Hope College)! Derek H. should just hang it up and look for a coaching gig. West Michigan has nice summers!

        I live in Holland and Derek couldn’t make the Hope squad.

        Jim Kaat went there. I graduated from the same high school as he did but 20+ years later.

    Tiger pitchers have prevented Derek Holland’s release in case he takes with him the postgame wrestling belt award he has popularized.

    It was clever of Holland’s head to figure out this fool-proof method of staying in the big leagues. His left arm has forgotten how.

    Just leave Ramos on the IL until he is right or until the season ends. Either way, Rogers, Haase, and Greiner (before his injury) were holding their own behind the dish and managing decently at the plate. Let them play so we know if there is a real catcher in the bunch.

    And get a message to Rogers to shave what my nephews call a “pedo-stash!”

      Leave the ‘stash alone! The Tigers need some personality.

    The Tigers’ only acquired Wilson Ramos so they could deal for more waiver wire trash prospects at the trade deadline. After all, Al Avila and his scouts historically can’t miss.

      Ramos is not good enough to get nice prospects.

    If the Tigers want to win ball games this season they need to release Holland as soon as he flames out and bring Zack Short up and slot him in at SS. Harold Castro should be every day 2nd baseman. Niko and Willi could play from the bench along with Akil and a Haase/Rogers. Those moves would greatly improve defense..

      Zach Short should be the everyday SS. The Tigers finally found someone and they option them right back.

    SEEMS like the only one Al signed that has any trade value is Hinch.
    Do managers have the 5 years of service trade block?

    Hinch had a good lineup today for the sweep of the Yankees. Glad Short has been called up. Feels good to have a dependable SS on the field. Problem is, he’ll soon be sent down when Urena or some other guy on the IL gets reactivated.
