KANSAS CITY, Mo. The Indians have promoted Harold Ramirez from their taxi squad Monday in time for the 26-year-old outfielder to make his Cleveland debut against Kansas City at Kauffman Stadium. The club also reinstated designated hitter Franmil Reyes from the paternity list prior to the opener of a four-game series against the Royals.
With the Indians facing three left-handed starters in the next four games, and with outfielder Jordan Luplow nursing a sore left groin, adding Ramirez’s right-handed bat to the lineup made the most sense according to manager Terry Francona.
PLYMOUTH, Minn., May 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/  Surgical Information Sciences (SIS), a medical device company focused on improved targeting for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery, announced the first use of the SIS System which recently received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The SIS System uses deep learning models to identify brain structures such as the subthalamic nuclei (STN) and globus pallidus internus/externus (GPi/GPe) commonly targeted for DBS procedures. The SIS System provides visualization of these structures for surgical planning and for location of the implanted DBS leads and lead contacts post-surgery.
The STN and GPi/GPe are key targets for patients with Parkinson s disease. The advancement of DBS has provided a potentially profound solution to patients with Parkinson s disease; however, it is still significantly underutilized due to a lack of consistent results and challenges with the procedure.

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Scribbles in my Tribe notebook.
1. Let’s start at the top of the lineup. It took a while for Terry Francona to make the obvious move of Cesar Hernandez to leadoff, where he hit part of last season. But the veteran second baseman is a mess at the plate, batting .172 (.528 OPS) heading into the weekend.
2. Hernandez had a period early in the season where he hit into lousy luck. But that’s not the case lately. Hernandez is only 31, so he shouldn’t be in decline. He batted .283 (.763 OPS) for the Tribe last season, leading the American League with 20 doubles. He’s a career .275 hitter (.730 OPS). So it’s probably safe to assume this is some type of early-season slump.

Hey, Hoynsie: I really liked Jordan Luplow’s walk-off homer against the Twins in the ninth inning on Monday because it meant the Indians won an extra-inning game without really utilizing the Little League runner on second scenario. I hate the funky speed up the game rules especially when they change the essence or strategy of the game itself. Do you think we are stuck with that rule beyond the COVID situation?

CLEVELAND, Ohio There was nowhere for Logan Allen to hide as Minnesota hitters rained home run after home run down on him Wednesday. After Allen left, the onslaught didn’t stop against Indians relievers.
Allen, coming off back-to-back short outings, lasted just 1 1/3 innings and served up three homers in the first inning of an 10-2 loss to the Twins at Progressive Field.
Indians pitchers combined to allow six home runs and 13 hits, both season highs. Mitch Garver hit a pair of long balls, giving him three in the last two games of the series. Byron Buxton had a career-high five hits, including his American League-best eighth homer.
