Red Sox 1B Ramirez exits after HBP on wrist

Boston Red Sox first baseman Hanley Ramirez departed in the first inning of Thursday's game against the New York Yankees after he suffered a bruised right wrist when he was hit by a pitch.

The Red Sox said X-rays were negative.

Ramirez was in obvious pain when hit by the 94-mph fastball from Yankees right-hander Sonny Gray. He started to swing at the inside pitch and then held up as the ball caromed off his hand.

Gray appeared to signal to Ramirez that there was no intent.

Mitch Moreland ran for Ramirez and replaced him at first base.

Tensions are high after a benches-clearing brawl in Wednesday's game that led to the two main figures drawing suspensions. Red Sox right-hander Joe Kelly was suspended six games on Thursday by Major League Baseball, and Yankees designated hitter Tyler Austin drew a five-game ban. Both players are appealing the punishment.
