Ramos was with police this evening, has called his family and was on his way home, Mercano told the Post. He gained his freedom in the mountains of Montalban in the state of Carabobo in central Venezuela, the Post reported, citing Venezuelan Communications Minister Andres Izarra.

Izarra said it was "a rescue operation by air," The Associated Press reported. State television reported that three men were arrested in the kidnapping.

Ramos' mother was shown on television exclaiming, "Thanks to God!"

After speaking to her son by phone, she said, "He's fine."

Ramos's family had been waiting to hear from kidnappers who abducted Ramos as police in Venezuela mounted an urgent nationwide search for the ballplayer.
