Likely to bat leadoff vs. lefties Ramos hit leadoff and went 1-for-3 with a double in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Athletics in Cactus League play, and he is making a case to hit leadoff against lefties during the re...

Impact Ramos hit leadoff against the Athletics' left-handed pitcher Jeffrey Springs in Tuesday's win, which could become a trend against left-handed pitchers during the regular season, per Rubin. "Look at his numbers last year against lefty pitching and he's inspired to do it, too," manager Bob Melvin said. "We'll see where it goes." The 25-year-old outfielder is hitting .231 in 13 at-bats in Cactus League play, and he has also recorded two stolen bases. Ramos is slated to serve as the club's everyday left fielder in 2025 after a successful 2024 campaign, during which he finished with a .269/.322/.469 slash line, 22 home runs and six steals over 121 outings.

Making spring debut Tuesday Ramos (oblique) is starting in left field and batting second Tuesday against the Padres in his Cactus League debut, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Ramos has been slowed by an early-camp oblique injury, but he's progressed well and is now ready to test things out in a game setting. The 25-year-old is slated to serve as the Giants' everyday left fielder in 2025 after popping 22 home runs over 121 games last season.

Should be back Tuesday Ramos (oblique) said he is scheduled to play in Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Padres, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Ramos was expected to be sidelined for a week after suffering a minor oblique injury last weekend, and returning to action Tuesday would put him right in line with that initial timetable. The 25-year-old is poised to begin the season as San Francisco's primary left fielder after he posted a .791 OPS with 22 homers during his first full MLB campaign last year.

Resumes hitting Wednesday Ramos (oblique) hit off a tee and took soft toss Wednesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact It's a day earlier than he was expected to resume hitting, which would appear to be a good sign. Recovering from a sore oblique, Ramos is hopeful of making his Cactus League debut March 4. The young outfielder is expected to be ready in time for Opening Day, provided he can avoid setbacks.

Expected to resume hitting Thursday Ramos (oblique) will throw Monday and likely resume hitting Thursday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact The young outfielder tweaked his oblique while dodging a pitch during a recent live batting practice session. If that all goes well this week, Ramos should be ready for his Cactus League debut Mar. 4. He has plenty of time to get ready for Opening Day, barring any setbacks.

Nursing oblique injury Ramos was diagnosed with a slight oblique strain Sunday and is expected to be unavailable for about a week, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact It doesn't appear to be a serious issue, but any oblique problems are worth keeping an eye on given how problematic the injury can often be. Ramos is locked in as the starting left fielder after breaking out with 22 homers and a .791 OPS in 2024, so there's no reason to rush him back for reps early in spring training.

Pops homer in live BP Ramos (hamstring/foot) took part in live batting practice against right-hander Justin Verlander during Wednesday's full-squad workout, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle r...

Impact Ramos provided one of the highlights of the day during his round of BP, hitting a long home run that struck the scoreboard at Scottsdale Stadium. Though he impressed in his first full big-league campaign in 2024 with a .269/.322/.469 slash line to go with 22 home runs and six steals over 121 games, Ramos disclosed after the season that he had been dealing with a tight hamstring and plantar fasciitis down the stretch. Neither issue presented any reported complications during his offseason training program, and Ramos doesn't appear to be facing any restrictions during spring training. He's poised to handle an everyday role for the Giants in 2025 and will likely slot somewhere in the middle of the lineup against both right- and left-handed pitchers.

Impact Manager Bob Melvin said that Ramos could hit Sunday or start at designated hitter, but with nothing to play for, he'll likely get the finale off. Ramos had a breakout age-24 season, slashing .269/.322/.469 with 22 home runs and six steals in 518 plate appearances.
