Clark’s big day leads Thunder to a win

RHP Jose Ramirez was activated off the Triple-A DL, according to Donnie Collins. He wasn’t actually hurt, they just took advantage of the All-Star break to free up an extra roster spot between his starts.

Oh, and C Gary Sanchez is day-to-day, so says Josh Norris. He tweaked something running the bases yesterday. I thought he got hurt on a collision at the plate.
