Ramirez isn't likely to finish the road trip with the club, even though he can come off the disabled list as soon as Thursday. McKeon said Ramirez was still feeling discomfort in the shoulder he sprained during an Aug. 2 game at Citi Field.

Through Monday, the Marlins since Ramirez suffered the injury were 1-10. In Ramirez's absence, Marlins cleanup hitters entered Tuesday's game batting .176 (6-for-34) with a double, no homers, three RBI, 11 walks, 11 strikeouts and a .597 on-base plus slugging percentage.

Worst season since 1999.

All things considered, I think 05 was worse.

I don't recall the season you speak of.

[Bobbob1313]

Exactly.

Hanley MRI showed no structural damage. Surgery possible to correct whatever is causing shoulder to slip out.

MIAMI -- When Hanley Ramirez undergoes surgery on his left shoulder, it will be performed by one of the best in the business.

Orthopedic surgeon, Dr. James Andrews, will do the procedure on Sept. 15 in Birmingham, Ala.

Ramirez, 27, has been on the disabled list since Aug. 10, retroactive to Aug. 3, with left shoulder instability.

The extent of the damage to the shoulder won't be fully known until the surgery is completed. The Marlins are hopeful their three-time All-Star will be ready for the 2012 opener.

After the 2007 season, Ramirez had surgery to the same shoulder, and he was back for the start of Spring Training.

Ramirez has labored through his roughest season, batting .243 with 10 homers and 45 RBIs in 92 games.

Ramirez injured his shoulder while making a diving attempt on a fly ball to short left field on Aug. 2 against the Mets at Citi Field.
