Harold Ramírez - Tallies first homerRamirez went 2-for-4 with a single and a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-2 victory over the Nationals.

Despite his positive outing, the 28-year-old must compete with Luke Raley for designated hitter responsibilities, where whoever has the better pitching matchup will likely get the start. Although Ramirez has demonstrated the potential to make a significant impact, he is not anticipated to be a substantial contributor down the stretch.

The veteran reliever now seems likely to miss all of April as he recovers from surgery last July to repair a partially torn UCL in his left elbow.
