WASHINGTON -- Nationals All-Star catcher Wilson Ramos is out for the season because of a torn ACL in his right knee, manager Dusty Baker announced Tuesday.Ramos suffered the injury in Mondays game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.Shortly after play resumed following a 20-minute rain delay Monday, Arizonas Yasmany Tomas hit an RBI double to right field. On the play, Ramos leaped up to catch a high relay throw from first baseman Ryan Zimmerman. When Ramos landed on the dirt next to home plate, he collapsed to the ground, clutching his right knee and grimacing in pain.After spending several minutes on the ground while Washington trainer Paul Lessard examined him, Ramos exited the game. He needed assistance as he walked gingerly toward the first-base dugout and barely put any weight on his right leg.It is the same leg Ramos injured in May 2012, when he tore his ACL and MCL during a game in Cincinnati.Baker said Ramos will see doctors this week, then determine when he will have surgery.Hes upbeat about things, Baker said. He knows that other guys have come back from this. ... And Im positive as strong and as positive as he is and the way he works that hell be back stronger than ever.A 29-year-old free agent-to be, Ramos was in the midst of a career year in which he was named an All-Star for the first time. In 131 games for the Nationals, he was hitting .307 with 22 home runs and 80 RBIs, all personal bests.Without Ramos, Washington will turn to veteran backup Jose Lobaton and rookie Pedro Severino to fill the void behind the plate. Additionally, the Nationals called up catcher Spencer Kieboom from Double-A Harrisburg on Tuesday to provide catching depth.Washington also is dealing with injuries to several other key players. All-Star pitcher Stephen Strasburg has been out since early September with a strained flexor mass, MVP candidate Daniel Murphy has missed the past five games with a strained buttocks muscle, and reigning MVP Bryce Harper has been out after injuring his thumb while sliding Sunday.There is no timetable for Strasburgs return, although general manager Mike Rizzo said Tuesday that he doesnt expect to have Strasburg back on the mound for the beginning of the playoffs.Baker said prior to Mondays game that he expects Murphy to be ready for the playoffs. After the game, Baker announced that Harpers X-rays came back negative.In addition, pitcher A.J.
