Pedro Ramirez - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Steps in for Swanson in middle infield Ramirez will start at second base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Ramirez will claim a fifth straight start and his third in a row at the keystone as the Cubs go for a series sweep of their crosstown rivals. With Dansby Swanson (oblique) landing on the injured list Monday and likely to miss most, if not all, of the remainder of the regular season, Nico Hoerner will serve as the Cubs' everyday shortstop. Second base is open for Ramirez to stake a claim to a regular spot in the lineup, though he could fade back into a utility role once Matt Shaw (hand) returns from the injured list. Ramirez has held his own at the plate during his rookie season, slashing .289/.345/.422 with two home runs, seven stolen bases, 20 runs and 15 RBI over 149 plate appearances.

Swipes two bases Wednesday Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and two runs scored in Wednesday's 12-6 win over the Nationals. He also stole two bases.

Impact Ramirez was active Wednesday, recording his second career two-steal game and his seventh stolen base this season in seven attempts. The rookie is having a strong debut with the Cubs, though consistent playing time may be an issue down the stretch. Alex Bregman, who tallied a career-best three home runs and seven RBI in Wednesday's win, is entrenched at third base, and Tyrone Taylor came over at the trade deadline to give the team another option off the bench.

Losing out on reps vs. RHPs Ramirez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Impact Ramirez will head to the bench for a third straight matchup versus a right-handed pitcher. The rookie still looks set to retain a regular spot in the starting nine against lefties, but the Cubs appear content to take a committee approach to the final spot in the lineup versus righties rather than leaning on any one player. Tyrone Taylor will occupy that spot Sunday, serving as the Cubs' starting center fielder while MVP candidate Pete Crow-Armstrong gets a day off from playing the field but stays in the lineup at designated hitter.

Launches second homer Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 6-4 win over the Royals.

Impact Ramirez scored during Chicago's four-run second inning and capped his club's scoring with a solo homer in the eighth. It's the second long ball of the 22-year-old's young career and first since June 13 in San Francisco. Through his first 43 big-league contests, Ramirez is slashing .300/.355/.445 with eight doubles, two homers, five steals, 15 RBI and 17 runs.

He'll give up his spot in the lineup to Tyrone Taylor, who draws a start in center field while MVP candidate Pete Crow-Armstrong gets a day off from playing defense but sticks in the starting nine at designated hitter.

Taking seat Monday Ramirez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Though he'll cede his spot to Miguel Amaya on Monday, Ramirez appears to be emerging as a regular in the Chicago lineup. He had started in six of the Cubs' previous eight contests, going 11-for-25 with four doubles, two walks, one stolen base, six RBI and five runs during that stretch.

Stays hot Sunday Ramirez went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Pirates.

Impact Making the start at third base in place of Alex Bregman, Ramirez extended his hitting streak to seven games and raised his season batting average above .300 in the process. The 22-year-old has four multi-hit efforts during his hitting streak, and he's making it increasingly hard for the Cubs to keep him out of the lineup. Bregman should still cover the hot corner most days moving forward, but Ramirez can also slot in as the DH, and his fantasy value is starting to trend upward thanks to his hot bat.

Swipes bag in rout Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, one RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 11-0 win over the Pirates.

Impact Ramirez reached base in his final three plate appearances, swiping a base in the seventh inning and adding an RBI double in the eighth. The 22-year-old has hit safely in six straight games to open the second half, tallying three multi-hit efforts, four doubles and five RBI during that span. While there are plenty of mouths to feed in the Cubs' lineup, Ramirez has slashed .295/.341/.449 with nine extra-base hits, 12 RBI, 12 runs scored and three steals across his first 86 major-league plate appearances.
