Impact Since returning from the injured list Sept. 1, Ramirez started in left field in four of his first five games back with the team and went 6-for-16 with two doubles, three runs and two RBI over that stretch.

Keeps hitting streak alive Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's win over Boston.

Impact Ramirez was one of three Cleveland players that plated at least two runs, but most importantly, he kept his hitting streak alive and has now recorded at least one knock in seven straight contests.

Reinstated from 10-day IL Ramirez (knee) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact Ramirez recently made four rehab appearances at High-A Lake County and went 4-for-13 with a solo home run and a strikeout. The 26-year-old spent just under three weeks on the shelf but is starting in left field and batting sixth in his return to the lineup against the Royals on Wednesday.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ready for rehab assignment Ramirez (knee) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with High-A Lake County.

Impact Sidelined since Aug. 11 with a sore right knee, Ramirez should be in store for a relatively brief rehab assignment before perhaps rejoining Cleveland over the weekend. Once Ramirez is back in the fold, Oscar Mercado could lose hold of an everyday role in the Cleveland outfield.

Heads to injured list Ramirez (knee) was placed on the injured list Friday.

Impact Ramirez left Wednesday's game against Oakland with right knee tightness, an issue which is evidently serious enough to cost him at least 10 days. The transaction was backdated to Thursday, so he'll be eligible to return Aug. 22. Infielder Yu Chang was called up in a corresponding move.

AUGUST 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Sunday Ramirez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Ramirez will hit the bench after he had started in each of the past eight games, going 6-for-33 with no walks over that stretch. His slash line now sits at .266/.305/.416 for the season after the recent slide, but Ramirez should still rank ahead of both Oscar Mercado and Daniel Johnson in the pecking order for everyday duties in left field.

AUGUST 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Doubles twice in narrow win Ramirez went 2-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI in Saturday's 12-11 win over the White Sox.

Impact The pair of extra-base hits were Ramirez's first since July 10. Despite the power outage, Ramirez still looks fairly secure as an everyday outfielder, even after the addition of Myles Straw at the trade deadline. The duo of Oscar Mercado and Daniel Johnson is more likely to lose work in the outfield with Straw joining the mix.

AUGUST 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Adds steal Thursday Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to Tampa Bay.

Impact Ramirez got aboard with a single and stole second before scoring on an Austin Hedges sacrifice fly in the fourth inning. It was Ramirez's third stolen base of the season, which represents a career high. He's slashing a solid.279/.323/.441 with six home runs, 24 RBI and 25 runs scored through 220 plate appearances as a regular option in the corner outfield.

JULY 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

JULY 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Gets Sunday off Ramirez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Impact After going 2-for-7 while starting the first two games of the second half, Ramirez will cede right-field duties to Daniel Johnson in the series finale. Ramirez still appears fairly secure as Cleveland's top option at the position.

JULY 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Three hits, two runs in win Ramirez went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Saturday's 14-6 win over Kansas City.

Impact The outfielder seemed refreshed at the plate after getting a day off Friday. He entered Saturday's contest hitting just .214 (6-for-28) through eight games in July. Ramirez's three-hit effort was just his third such game this season. He's slashing a solid .280/.325/.457 with six home runs, 22 RBI, 24 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases through 200 plate appearances as Cleveland's near-everyday right fielder.

JULY 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to bench Ramirez will sit Friday against the Royals.

Impact Ramirez sits after starting 14 straight games. He's in the middle of his best big-league season to date, but his .269/.316/.445 slash line still isn't anything particularly exciting. Daniel Johnson will be the right fielder in his absence.

Reaches base three times Ramirez went 1-for-2 with a double, an RBI, a run scored and two walks in Thursday's loss against the Astros.

Impact Ramirez plated Cleveland's second run of the game with an RBI double that drove Jose Ramirez home, but he would remain silent the rest of the way. He's hitting .282 with a .801 OPS on the season, and both figures would be career-best numbers for the 26-year-old if he's able to sustain them throughout the end of the campaign.
