After the game, Ramos appeared to be in high spirits given the circumstances. Taking questions from reporters, Ramos said he was not sure if the doctors would allow him to be available for the next day's game, but he felt like he would be ready to go if needed.
While nothing is official yet, Ramos himself said he'd like to be back in the lineup by Wednesday.
