Esteury Ruiz - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Swipes bag No. 25 Ruiz went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Phillies.

Impact The steal was the 25th of the season for Ruiz in only 141 plate appearances, the first time he's reached that mark in the majors since he pilfered 67 as a rookie for the A's in 2023. Ruiz hasn't been able to seize a full-time role with the Marlins, but over 11 games and 24 PAs since the All-Star break he's hitting .318 (7-for-22) with a double, a solo homer, five steals and five runs while bouncing between center field and right field. Owen Caissie (calf) is close to coming off the IL to cloud the picture in right field even further, but more playing time could open up for Ruiz after the trade deadline if Miami deals away outfield competitors like Heriberto Hernandez.

Back on bench Monday Ruiz is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Though Ruiz had been included in the lineup for three of the Marlins' previous four matchups with right-handed pitching, he'll be on the bench Monday against Phillies righty Zack Wheeler. Jakob Marsee will draw the starting nod in center field but has produced a .406 OPS during the Marlins' ongoing 12-game losing streak and could see his playing time take a hit if manager Clayton McCullough wants to open up more opportunities for Ruiz, who has submitted an .854 OPS over the same stretch of action.

Posts pair of steals Ruiz went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Astros.

Impact Ruiz's playing time remains fairly sparse. That hasn't stopped him from racking up six steals over 13 contests in July despite going just 5-for-25 (.200) at the plate this month. The speedy outfielder is now batting .243 with an .836 OPS, five home runs, 22 steals, 10 RBI and 25 runs scored across 128 plate appearances. He doesn't have an everyday spot in the lineup but has seen fairly steady playing time versus left-handers recently.

Swipes bag Sunday Ruiz went 1-for-3 with a double, walk, a hit-by-pitch, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 9-8 win over the Athletics.

Impact Ruiz is up to 18 steals on the season, though his cold bat has decreased his opportunities on the bases lately. He has gone just 3-for-17 with one walk and five strikeouts over his last 11 contests, though he still has four steals in that span. The outfielder is batting .244 with an .838 OPS, four home runs, nine RBI, 23 runs scored, eight doubles and one triple over 106 plate appearances this season. Ruiz could get a longer runway in center field if Jakob Marsee (knee) misses time after exiting Sunday's contest early.

Making case for more playing time Ruiz went 3-for-5 with two doubles and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Phillies.

Impact Getting the start in left field and batting ninth even with right-hander Andrew Painter on the mound for Philly, Ruiz put together his first three-hit performance of the season. Over his last 12 games, the 27-year-old is batting an eye-popping .435 (10-for-23) with four doubles, two homers, four steals, four RBI and six runs as he pushes for more than a part-time role in the Marlins' outfield. With Kyle Stowers needed at first base and Owen Caissie still struggling to make anything close to consistent contact, there could be a path for Ruiz to claim a starting job.

Pops fourth homer Ruiz went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's loss to the Phillies.

Impact The 27-year-old got the start in left field and ruined Jesus Luzardo's shutout bid by taking the southpaw deep in the seventh inning. Ruiz continues to do damage in that split, and over 40 plate appearances against left-handers this season he's batting .273 with three of his four homers on the year, along with seven steals, six RBI and nine runs.

Swipes two more bags Sunday Ruiz went 0-for-1 with a walk, a run scored and two stolen bases in Sunday's win over the Rays.

Impact The 27-year-old outfielder began the game on the bench but pinch hit for Owen Caissie in the seventh inning and remained in the contest in right field. Ruiz isn't seeing consistent playing time and sports a .196/.300/.471 slash line through just 60 plate appearances since he joined the Marlins' roster in late April, but he has slugged three homers and stolen 11 bags in 12 attempts while adding six RBI and 14 runs.

Swats third homer Ruiz went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Wednesday's win over the Nationals.

Impact With southpaw Andrew Alvarez on the mound for Washington, Ruiz got the start in center field and took him deep in the second inning to open the scoring, but the 27-year-old was replaced by Jakob Marsee in the sixth inning once Alvarez was out of the game. Ruiz is batting just .191 (9-for-47) so far as a Marlin, but seven of his nine hits have gone for extra bases -- including three homers -- and he's stolen eight bags in nine attempts, giving him some appeal as a bargain DFS option on days when he's in the lineup.

Productive night at plate in win Ruiz went 2-for-3 with a double, a triple, one stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 2-1 win over the Mets.

Impact Ruiz doubled in the bottom of the second inning and manufactured the Marlins' first run of the game by stealing third base before scoring on a groundout. It was Ruiz's eighth stolen base of the season. He then tripled and scored in the fourth, accounting for both of Miami's run in the low-scoring affair. The speedy outfielder is hitting just .216 with a .231 on-base percentage but has a team-high .514 slugging percentage in 39 trips to the plate this season. He has three doubles, one triple and two homers to go with five RBI, 10 runs scored and the eighth steals.
