Hanley Ramirez sounds optimistic.
Ramirez, who injured his shoulder Monday while crashing into the left field wall in foul territory at Fenway Park, sent out a pair of tweets shortly after the Boston Red Sox’s 5-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays.

Red Sox manager John Farrell said immediately after Monday’s game that Ramirez is “day to day” with a left shoulder sprain. The club expects to learn more about the outfielder’s status in the coming days.
Ramirez, who left Monday’s game after his first-inning collision, wasn’t available to the media following the contest, but his social media messages clearly provide some hope that his injury isn’t serious.
