Alexei Ramirez left Saturday's game with back stiffness. Ramirez tweaked his back in the bottom of the third inning while attempting to make a play on a groundball. The shortstop will likely sit out Sunday but should return to the White Sox starting lineup after the All-Star break.

Alexei Ramirez is not in the White Sox starting lineup for Saturday's contest against the Blue Jays. He has been scuffling a bit at the plate recently, hitting just .203/.213/.297 with one homer, two RBI and 11 strikeouts over his last 18 games, so it appears manager Robin Ventura may want him to have a mental health day. Leury Garcia is getting the start at shortstop and hitting ninth for the White Sox on Saturday.

Alexei Ramirez went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer and four RBI as the White Sox overcame the Royals' five-run first to win 7-6 on Monday. This was a particularly ugly loss for Royals fans. Ramirez, hitting in the top half of the order for the first time all year, matched his 2013 total with his sixth homer. Manager Robin Ventura held off on moving him up for the longest time, but now it looks like Ramirez will bat third during Jose Abreu's absence, giving his fantasy value a boost.
