Out of Friday's lineup Ramirez is not in Friday's lineup against the Rangers.

Impact He will surprisingly take a seat even with a lefty (Martin Perez) on the hill for the opposition. Ramirez is hitting .195 with one home run, 11 strikeouts and two walks in 11 games this month. Christian Bethancourt will start at first base and hit sixth.

Solo shot in loss Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-1 loss against Toronto.

Impact Ramirez accounted for all of Tampa Bay's offense Wednesday as he crushed a sinker from Ross Stripling to left to make the score 5-1. After working through a 3-for-26 slump, he has recorded hits in his last two games. The homer gives Ramirez six on the season and improved his slugging percentage to .429, which would be the best of his career.

Ramirez lifts Rays to 4-3 win over Angels in 11 innings

Third straight multi-hit game Ramirez went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Royals.

Impact Ramirez enjoyed a big weekend against Kansas City, starting in three of the four games of the series while going a collective 7-for-12 with two RBI and two runs. Even with Manuel Margot's recent return from the injured list making the Tampa Bay lineup more crowded these days, Ramirez should have a clear path to a near-everyday role at first base, designated hitter or in a corner-outfield spot.

Gets breather Thursday Ramirez isn't starting Thursday against the Royals, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Impact Ramirez started the last two games after returning from the IL, and he went 2-for-9 with a solo home run and a strikeout. However, David Peralta will serve as the designated hitter while Roman Quinn starts in right field Thursday.

AUGUST 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Homers in road loss Ramirez went 1-for-5 with one homer, one RBI and one run scored in Wednesday's 8-7 loss to the Yankees.

Impact Ramirez homered off lefty reliever Lucas Luetge to lead off the sixth and give the Rays a 4-0 lead. Although this marks only the second extra-base hit in the last ten games for the outfielder, he has an outstanding .353 batting average in 34 at-bats during that span. In addition, the 27-year-old is great against lefties with a .947 OPS in 75 at-bats compared to a .769 OPS in 174 at-bats against right-handed pitching.

AUGUST 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

One hit in return Ramirez went 1-for-4 Tuesday against the Yankees.

Impact Ramirez was activated from the injured list prior to Tuesday's game after missing just over three weeks with a thumb injury. He hit third and served as the designated hitter, and he is likely to occupy a similar role consistently moving forward. Though Ramirez has only four home runs, he has 20 extra-base hits across 268 plate appearances for the season -- good for a career-best .443 slugging percentage.

AUGUST 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Reinstated from injured list Ramirez (thumb) was activated from the injured list Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Timesreports.

Impact Ramirez made it through a rehab game Sunday without issue, and that was all the Rays needed to see before adding him back to the roster. Ramirez is hitting .329 and owns an .825 OPS on the season, so it seems likely he will resume his role as the Rays' regular designated hitter.

AUGUST 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ready for rehab assignment Ramirez (thumb) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham on Sunday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Ramirez took batting practice Saturday and apparently felt well afterward. Topkin notes that Ramirez could be back within the next week. Ramirez has filled several roles with the Rays this season -- he's played at first base, in the outfield and at designated hitter -- and that is likely to continue upon his return.

AUGUST 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Taking batting practice Saturday Ramirez (thumb) will take batting practice on the field ahead of Saturday's game against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Ramirez has been on the injured list for nearly a month due to a right thumb fracture, but he's closing in on a return. Assuming he feels good after taking live batting practice, he hopes to begin a rehab assignment next week.

AUGUST 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Could soon take BP Ramirez (thumb) could be cleared to take live batting practice as soon as Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Both Ramirez and Wander Franco (wrist) seem to be at similar points in their recoveries from injuries, as the two have both been cleared to take dry swings and could be ready to take another meaningful step forward this weekend. Ramirez, who has been sidelined since the All-Star break with a fractured right thumb, should have an everyday role waiting for him either at designated hitter or in the corner outfield once he's ready to come off the 10-day injured list. He was hitting .329 with four home runs, three steals, 35 RBI and 31 runs in 78 games prior to being deactivated.

AUGUST 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on 10-day IL Ramirez (thumb) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to July 18, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Impact Ramirez suffered a right thumb fracture after he was hit by a pitch Sunday against the Athletics. He's expected to be re-evaluated at the end of the month and is not eligible to return until July 28, which seems to be a very unlikely scenario. The Rays signed Roman Quinn to a major-league contract on Thursday and he will replace Ramirez on the active roster.

Breaks thumb Sunday Ramirez exited after the first inning of Sunday's game against the Orioles and was diagnosed with a broken right thumb, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. He'll be re-eval...

Impact Ramirez's absence from the lineup until at least the early part of August is yet another blow to a banged-up Rays roster that already has Wander Franco (wrist), Kevin Kiermaier (hip), Mike Zunino (shoulder) and Manuel Margot (knee) sidelined with long-term injuries. Before exiting after being hit on the hand by a pitch in his lone plate appearance of Sunday's contest, Ramirez had entered the contest with a .329 batting average for the season, the third-best mark in the majors among all players with at least 200 at-bats. Brett Phillips, Christian Bethancourt and Luke Raley are the potential candidates to take on increased roles while Ramirez is out, though it wouldn't be surprising if the Rays looked to the trade market to add a more experienced piece to replace him and some of the other injured hitters on the roster.

Getting Monday off Ramirez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Ramirez reached base three times in Sunday's 10-5 loss to the Reds, boosting his on-base percentage to a magnificent .436 since the beginning of June. His hot run of production over the past five weeks has allowed Ramirez to settle in as a regular in the lineup, but he'll get a routine maintenance day as the Rays begin a seven-game week. Ramirez had started in 13 of the Rays' last 14 games.

JULY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Doubles thrice in loss Ramirez went 3-for-5 with three doubles and three RBI in Saturday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Reds.

Impact Ramirez has now produced five multi-hit games over his last eight starts to improve his season-long batting line to .321/.369/.447 across 236 plate appearances. The 27-year-old had already recently moved into a full-time role against both right- and left-handed pitching, and his hot run at the plate in addition to Kevin Kiermaier (hip) and Wander Franco (wrist) landing on the injured list Sunday should further solidify Ramirez as an everyday player. Ramirez will serve as the Rays' designated hitter and No. 2 batter in Sunday's series finale, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times.

JULY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Takes seat Wednesday Ramirez isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Impact Ramirez has had regular playing time for the Rays recently and has slashed .350/.409/.500 with a homer, three doubles, eight runs, five RBI and a stolen base over his last 10 games. He'll get a breather Wednesday while Josh Lowe starts in right field and leads off.

JULY 3, 2022 • THESTAR.COM

Pushing for full-time role Ramirez will start in right field and bat third in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact The righty-hitting Ramirez will stick in the lineup for an eighth consecutive contest and will be making a fourth straight start against a right-handed pitcher (Ross Stripling). The Rays have mostly deployed Ramirez as a short-side platoon player this season, but he appears to have usurped the struggling Josh Lowe for a full-time spot in either the corner outfield or at designated hitter. While starting the past seven games, Ramirez has gone 11-for-26 (.423 average) with three doubles, three walks, a stolen base, five runs and three RBI.

Sergio Romo K's Harold Ramirez | 07/01/2022 Sergio Romo gets Harold Ramirez to strike out for his second whiff in the 7th inning in his debut with the Blue Jays

JULY 1, 2022 • MLB.COM

Scores run, swipes bag Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base Wednesday against the Brewers.

Impact Ramirez reached base on a one-out single in the fourth inning and proceeded to steal second -- his third of the season -- before coming around to score. He's started eight of 12 games since June 14, though Ramirez's path to playing time is likely to get more difficult with Kevin Kiermaier (hip) expected back in the coming days. To his credit, Ramirez has hit well across the second half of June, maintaining a .378 batting average with one home run, six RBI and two runs scored across his last 14 contests.

JUNE 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Friday's lineup Ramirez isn't starting Friday against the Pirates, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Ramirez is getting a breather after he went 3-for-7 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and a strikeout over the last two games. Randy Arozarena will serve as the designated hitter while Luke Raley starts in left field.
