AUGUST 14, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Selected from Louisville The Reds selected Ramos' contract from Triple-A Louisville on Friday.

Impact Ramos was sent outright to Triple-A on July 10 and has since slashed .310/.390/.437 across 82 plate appearances with Louisville. He was able to get on base at a solid rate (.356 OBP) during his time in the majors this season, though he doesn't project to receive consistent playing time in a crowded Reds lineup. Nick Senzel was optioned to Louisville in a corresponding move.

AUGUST 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Outrighted to Triple-A Ramos cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Louisville on Monday.

Impact Ramos has crushed the ball at Louisville this season, but he's 31 and hasn't done much at the big-league level. He is no longer on the Reds' 40-man roster but will stick around in the organization.

JULY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Designated for assignment The Reds designated Ramos for assignment Saturday.

Impact Ramos will be pushed off the 40-man roster to make room for Michael Mariot, who was selected from Triple-A on Saturday. Ramos is slashing an impressive .318/.404/.568 through 152 plate appearances in the minors, making it likely he gets claimed off waivers by another team.

JULY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Activated and optioned Ramos (hip) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday and optioned to Triple-A Louisville.

Impact Ramos is recovered from the hip strain that has sidelined him since May 20, but the Reds don't currently have a spot for him on their major-league roster. He had posted a .663 OPS in 73 plate appearances for Cincinnati prior to the injury.

JUNE 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Begins rehab assignment Ramos began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.

Impact Ramos has been out for two weeks with a strained right hip. Prior to the injury, he hit a modest .242/.356/.306 in 18 games, so there's no guarantee he earns meaningful at-bats once he returns.

JUNE 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined with strained hip Ramos was placed on the injured list with a strained hip Saturday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact The injury may explain why Ramos found himself out of the lineup for the third time in four games, though his 85 wRC+ may sufficiently explain his lack of playing time on its own. His expected return date is unclear, and there's no guarantee he claims a starting role once he returns. Will Benson was recalled in a corresponding move.

MAY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Saturday Ramos will be on the bench Saturday against the Yankees.

Impact Ramos had been featuring regularly at designated hitter and in the outfield corners but now finds himself sitting for the third time in four games. He's been getting on base well but showing minimal power, slashing .242/.356/.306, so it wouldn't be a surprise if his role continues to slip.

MAY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Day off Wednesday Ramos will take a seat Wednesday versus the Rockies.

Impact Ramos will remain on the bench for a second straight contest Wednesday after he went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in the series opener Monday. The 31-year-old has gone 5-for-15 with two doubles, an RBI, two runs scored and two stolen bases over his last four starts, so his absence from the lineup shouldn't be considered performance related. Jonathan India will take over at designated hitter while Kevin Newman draws the start at second base and bats fifth in the series finale with Colorado.

MAY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Late add to lineup Ramos was a late addition to Saturday's lineup against the White Sox, hitting fifth and manning left field.

Impact Jake Fraley was scratched with lower-back tightness, so Ramos entered the lineup in his place. The journeyman outfielder is hitless with seven strikeouts over his last three games.

MAY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not in lineup Ramos will sit Saturday against the White Sox.

Impact Ramos had his contract selected in late April and started eight consecutive games, but he's since been on the bench for two of the last three. In his last three games, he's gone 0-for-11 with seven strikeouts. Wil Myers returns from the COVID-19 injured list to start in right field, while Tyler Stephenson rests his legs as the designated hitter.

MAY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hits bench Wednesday Ramos is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

Impact For the first time since he was promoted from Triple-A Louisville on April 24, Ramos will exit the Cincinnati lineup. While starting at either right field or designated hitter in each of the past eight games, Ramos slashed .310/.412/.379 with a 14.7 percent walk rate. Until his production at the plate dramatically tapers off, Ramos should find himself in the starting nine more often than not.

MAY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Handling regular role Ramos will start in right field and bat fifth in Monday's game against the Padres.

Impact Ramos has now picked up starts in each of the Reds' seven games since his April 24 call-up, and the 32-year-old has likely performed well enough to stick in the starting nine even if Wil Myers (illness) is able to return from the injured list later this week. While serving as a designated hitter or manning right field in his first six starts, Ramos has gone 9-for-22 with a triple, four walks, six runs and three RBI.

MAY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets start following call-up Ramos will serve as the Reds' designated hitter and No. 7 batter in Monday's game against the Rangers.

Impact The Reds won't waste any time breaking Ramos into the lineup for his first MLB action since 2021 after the 31-year-old switch-hitter had his contract selected from Triple-A Louisville earlier Monday. Cincinnati designated Jason Vosler for assignment in a corresponding move, and Ramos could end up replacing him as a regular in the lineup versus right-handed pitching while the Reds await Joey Votto's (shoulder/biceps) eventual return from the injured list. Ramos was off to a strong start at Louisville, slashing .314/.400/.486 with two home runs and three stolen bases while striking out in just 12.2 percent of his 41 plate appearances.

APRIL 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Added to roster The Reds selected Ramos' contract from Triple-A Louisville on Monday.

Impact Ramos, 31, is batting .314/.400/.486 with two homers and three steals with Louisville this season. He last saw action in the big leagues with the Diamondbacks in 2021. Ramos has prior professional experience at all three outfield spots, but he's played exclusively in right field or as a designated hitter for Louisville.

APRIL 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to Korea Ramos signed with the KT Wiz of the KBO on Tuesday, Ji Heon Bae of Naver reports.

Impact Ramos made his MLB debut at age 29 this season but didn't make much of an impression, hitting .200/.255/.300 in 18 games. The Wiz were presumably drawn to his excellent .371/.439/.582 slash line in 75 games for Triple-A Reno. Given Ramos' age, he isn't particularly likely to establish himself overseas and return as an MLB regular.

NOVEMBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Outrighted to Triple-A Ramos was outrighted to Triple-A Reno on Thursday.

Impact Ramos made his major-league debut in early September but saw inconsistent playing time in the big leagues. He hit .200 with a home run, eight RBI and five runs across 18 games in the majors this year but will be cast off the 40-man roster heading into the offseason.

OCTOBER 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Replaces injured Beer Ramos entered Tuesday's game after Seth Beer was removed due to a dislocated shoulder. He went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in an 8-4 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Beer, who is considered day-to-day, opened the game at first base. Following Beer's departure, Pavin Smith moved from right field to first base, and Ramos played right field. The 29-year-old Ramos is getting his first crack in the majors and has appeared in five of the last six games. He could continue to get regular work, pending Beer's status.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Gets steady PT as No. 4 outfielder Ramos will start in left field and bat sixth Monday against the Dodgers.

Impact The switch-hitting Ramos will crack the lineup for the fourth time in five games, this time filling in for left field while the lefty-hitting David Peralta takes a seat against Dodgers southpaw Clayton Kershaw. Since his Sept. 5 call-up from Triple-A Reno, Ramos has gone 4-for-14 with a home run, double, four RBI and three runs.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Contract selected by Arizona Ramos had his contract selected by the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Impact The 29-year-old joined the Diamondbacks on a minor-league deal in May and has crushed the ball at Triple-A Reno with a .371/.439/.582 slash line, 12 homers, 16 doubles, 57 RBI and 62 runs in 75 games. Ramos, a fifth-round pick by the Red Sox in 2010, will receive his first taste of the big leagues with rebuilding Arizona thanks to his strong showing at Triple-A.
