The Cleveland Indians plan to activate right-hander Carlos Carrasco on Sunday when rosters expand as long as his bullpen on Thursday goes well, manager Terry Francona told SiriusXM's MLB Network Radio on Wednesday.

Jose Ramirez's regular season is over. The postseason remains in play -- if the Indians can make it without him.

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez has been placed on the injured list with a fractured hamate bone in his right hand, the team announced on Sunday.

The Browns on Wednesday signed WR Braxton Miller. In a corresponding move, the team waived TE Mik'Quan Deane (non-football illness).

Indians ace Corey Kluber was removed from a minor league start after one inning because of abdominal tightness.

The team said Kluber, who hasn't pitched in the majors since he broke his arm during a start on May 1, was taken out of Sunday's game for Triple-A Columbus in Charlotte, North Carolina, for precautionary reasons. The two-time Cy Young winner was making his third start as he attempts to return from the injury.

Rafael Devers homered and singled, extending his robust hit streak to eight straight at-bats, and Xander Bogaerts went deep twice to lead Boston to a 5-1 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday.

After taking a 3-1 lead, Trenton broke the game open in the fifth when a fly ball to right field off the bat of Chris Gittens was lost by the RubberDucks outfield and dropped in for a three-run triple; Trenton would end up scoring six in the frame to pull away for good.

Lindor's over-aggressive base running in the ninth inning sabotaged Cleveland's bid at another dramatic win, and Jackie Bradley Jr. homered in the 10th inning as the Boston Red Sox edged the Indians 7-6 on Tuesday night after blowing a late lead and potential win for ace Chris Sale.

The RubberDucks scored early and often behind solid rehab pitching performances of Corey Kluber, Dan Otero and Tyler Olson in their 8-1 victory over the Trenton Thunder Tuesday night at Canal Park.

Carlos Santana homered leading off the ninth inning as Cleveland continued its stunning climb with a 6-5 win over the fast-fading Boston Red Sox on Monday night, moving the Indians into sole possession of first place for the first time since April 19.
