Ramos (shoulder) could be out for up to a year and a half, Matt Ehalt of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ramos' shoulder injury apparently involved a loose shoulder capsule. He underwent season-ending surgery in mid-June. If his recovery ends up taking the full year and a half, he could miss the entirety of the 2019 season as well.

Ramos was transferred to the 60-day disabled list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
This was merely a housekeeping move as Ramos will remain sidelined for the rest of the season after suffering a torn labrum. With Ramos shifting to the 60-day DL, he will be removed from the 40-man roster, making room for Drew Smith and Kevin Kaczmarski on the big-league club. In addition, Hansel Robles was designated for assignment.

Ramos was diagnosed with a torn labrum Tuesday. He will undergo surgery and miss the remainder of the 2018 season, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ramos has been sidelined since late May with what was being called a right shoulder strain, but the team has now revealed that the reliever is dealing with a much more serious injury. He'll end the year with a 6.41 ERA over 19.2 innings with the Mets. He's set to become a free agent this offseason.

Ramos is considering surgery to address his shoulder injury, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ramos has been on the disabled list since May 28 with a right shoulder strain. He's expected to receive a second opinion on the injury in the coming days, after which the veteran right-hander will know if surgery is necessary. Even if Ramos is able to avoid going under the knife, it sounds like the Mets are preparing to be without him for an extended period. "We certainly don't expect him back anytime soon," general manager Sandy Alderson said.

Ramos (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day disabled list Monday, Tim Britton of The Athletic New York reports.
EDGE Analysis
He has given up eight earned runs over his last 4.2 innings, and either suffered or was finally diagnosed with a right shoulder strain after giving up three runs in Saturday's game against the Brewers. It is unclear how long he will be sidelined. Robert Gsellman and Seth Lugo have been the best Mets setup men to own in fantasy thus far.

Ramos will travel to New York on Sunday to have his shoulder examined, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ramos was pummeled for three runs in 0.2 innings of relief work Saturday and was reportedly feeling some tightness in his shoulder after the contest. An update on his condition should arise following his medical examination. He'll be unavailable to pitch Sunday.

Ramos walked the only two batters he faced Friday, bringing home the winning run in a 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Only one of the nine pitches Ramos threw in the 10th inning found the strike zone, and his final offering to Travis Shaw didn't even travel 60 feet. The veteran reliever is in a major funk right now, giving up five runs and posting a 5:5 K:BB over his last five appearances, and his 5.21 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 6.6 BB/9 on the season make him tough for either the Mets, or fantasy GMs, to trust.

Ramos served up a two-run home run to Derek Dietrich in the eighth inning of Tuesday's loss to the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander is enduring a brutal May, posting a 7.27 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 11:3 K:BB in 8.2 innings. While the K:BB is encouraging, Ramos' struggles may have cost him his spot as the Mets' main alternative to Jeurys Familia in closing situations, as Robert Gsellman and not Ramos picked up the save Sunday with Familia unavailable.

Ramos struck out two in a perfect ninth inning during Friday's extra-inning win over the Braves.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander's control has been shaky through the early part of the season, leading to a 7:7 K:BB in 8.2 innings, but Ramos has allowed only two hits to maintain a strong 2.08 ERA and 1.04 WHIP. The Mets' success so far has also provided him with a win and five holds, giving him solid fantasy value in formats that count the latter, and Ramos remains the most likely alternative for saves on nights Jeurys Familia is unavailable.

Ramos has a 5.40 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 7:4 K:BB through 8.1 innings this spring.
EDGE Analysis
The ERA and WHIP don't mean much given the sample size, and the walks are no surprise as control has never been Ramos' strong suit. The 31-year-old is still set to serve as Jeurys Familia's primary setup man -- and the primary option to replace him in the ninth inning if Familia's arm issues linger into the regular season.
