Report: Yankees acquiring Heliot Ramos from Giants

Heliot Ramos

SF Left Fielder #17

Player Stats

The Yankees are nearing a deal to acquire Heliot Ramos from the Giants, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.

Left-hander Henry LaLane will be part of the return, according to MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand. This doesn’t seem great for Ramos. He might play regularly for now, but if things work out for the Yankees, he’ll finish the season starting primarily against lefties. It’ll be interesting to see if the team sends down Jasson Domínguez here (assuming he’s not in the trade) or maybe gives up on Amed Rosario. Ramos’s departure will leave the Giants even more punchless for now, but as a bad defensive corner outfielder probably best utilized as a DH, he didn’t seem like a long-term fit alongside Rafael Devers and Bryce Eldridge.

Heliot Ramos

NYY Left Fielder #34

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

With Cody Bellinger back, Heliot Ramos is sitting for the second straight game against a righty Tuesday against the Astros.

Ramos is just 6-for-53 with no homers in 16 games since joining the Yankees, so he’s losing time even with Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton still absent. Things might change if he heats up, but he figures to play mostly versus southpaws for now, making him useless in mixed leagues.
José Caballero

NYY Shortstop #72

Jose Caballero is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Cardinals.

This is now the second straight game with Caballero on the bench. Now that Heliot Ramos is in town and George Lombard Jr. has been called up, it seems that Caballero might be shifting back to being a bench player. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues can hold onto him for a little bit longer given his stolen base upside, but the time may have run out on his consistent fantasy value.
Jasson Domínguez

NYY Right Fielder #24

Yankees optioned OF Jasson Domínguez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Domínguez became expendable for New York after picking up corner outfielder Heliot Ramos from the Giants at the trade deadline. The 23-year-old former top prospect heads back to the minors with Spencer Jones remaining up with the big club.
Heliot Ramos

NYY Left Fielder #17

Yankees acquired OF Heliot Ramos from the Giants for LHP Henry Lalane and INF Kaeden Kent.

Ramos makes a ton of sense for the Yankees as a temporary stopgap while both Aaron Judge (rib) and Cody Bellinger (hamstring) are on the injured list, but he could wind up getting squeezed into a platoon role once they’re back. The 26-year-old corner outfielder has just nine round-trippers in 74 games this season after reaching the 20-homer plateau in each of the previous two years. He should benefit from leaving Oracle Park’s pitcher-friendly dimensions behind in favor of Yankee Stadium.
Henry Lalane

SF Starting Pitcher

Giants acquired LHP Henry Lalane and INF Kaeden Kent from the Yankees for OF Heliot Ramos.

It’s not a bad return for San Francisco as they pivot towards more of a long-tern rebuilding project. Lalane was one of the hottest pitching prospects in baseball last month as he’s looked like an impactful starter again following a couple injury-marred seasons. He’s a worthwhile gamble for the Giants considering how starved they are for pitching in the minors.
Jasson Domínguez

NYY Right Fielder #24

Jasson Domínguez went 1-for-5 with three strikeouts against the White Sox in Thursday’s loss.

The one hit would have been a triple in a scoreless game leading off the sixth, but Domínguez badly overslid the bag at third, despite it not being a close play, and was tagged out. He was credited with a double, but it probably would have been a better day for him if he had just struck out again instead. He’s hitting .226/.268/.340 in 56 plate appearances during the second half.
Heliot Ramos

SF Left Fielder #17

ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports that the Giants “could offload Heliot Ramos, whom some teams see as a solid flier.”

Ramos has played in just 70 games this season due to injuries and is slashing .267/.304/.436 with nine home runs, 34 RBI, and two steals. He has hit at least 20 home runs in two straight seasons but has yet to truly put together a great full season. Still, he is just 26 years old and is under team control through arbitration for three more years, so he would likely bring back a recent return if the Giants do decide to move him.
Heliot Ramos

SF Left Fielder #17

Heliot Ramos finished 4-for-5 with a three RBI, a walk and a steal versus the Brewers on Wednesday.

Ramos’s ninth-inning single off Andrew Vaughn gave him his third career four-hit game. After a nice first half of July, he had been cold in hitting .174 with one extra-base hit and a 15/1 K/BB in 48 plate appearances since the All-Star break. There’s at least a slim chance that he’ll be traded before the deadline, since while he fits in nicely with the Giants offensively, he doesn’t really offer anything defensively on a team that isn’t poised to have any first base/DH at-bats available for the next several years. Most likely, though, he’ll stay and finish out the year as the regular left fielder.
Jasson Domínguez

NYY Right Fielder #24

Jason Domínguez doubled in the go-ahead run in the seventh as the Yankees beat the Pirates 2-0 in the second game of Wednesday’s doubleheader.

Anthony Volpe then singled in Domínguez to make it 2-0. Domínguez also went 1-for-4 with a walk in game one. He’s not embarrassing himself in hitting .232/.270/.394 in 164 plate appearances, but he’s still not showing much in the way of upside at the plate, and it’s hard to say what the Yankees could realistically expect to get for him if they make him available at the deadline.
Jasson Domínguez

NYY Right Fielder #24

Jasson Domínguez went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored on Friday against the Dodgers.

Domínguez was solely responsible for the Yankees only run against Roki Sasaki and the Dodgers’ bullpen in this one. He smoked a double to right-center in the fourth inning that Andy Pages bobbled, which let Domínguez get to third. Then, Dalton Rushing let a forkball clank off his glove and Domínguez scampered home on the pass ball. He’s played everyday for a month straight and has four home runs and six stolen bases despite a lowly .679 OPS over his last 30 games.

Diamondbacks optioned RHP Drey Jameson to Triple-A Reno.

The 29-year-old hurler was only with the big league club for five days after returning from the injured list and now gets sent out to make room on the club’s active roster for Jose Cabrera to start on Thursday. Jameson holds a 5.12 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and a 13/10 K/BB ratio over 19 1/3 innings with the D’Backs on the season.

Josh Smith (hamstring) began a minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday.

The versatile 29-year-old has been sidelined since August 20 due to inflammation in his left hamstring. It sounds like he’ll play a couple of games in the minors before rejoining the Jays as soon as his 10 days on the injured list are up.

Giants designated INF Buddy Kennedy for assignment.

With Bryce Eldridge returning on Thursday, the Giants needed to clear a spot on their active roster and Kennedy wound up as the odd man out. It’s not the first time he has been designated for assignment this season and may not be the last. The versatile 27-year-old is once again likely to attract interest on waivers and could be donning a new jersey for the weekend.

Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com reports that the Twins plan to promote top prospect Walker Jenkins from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.

Jenkins, 21, is expected to be in the Twins’ lineup for Friday’s series opener against the White Sox. The fifth overall selection from the 2023 draft class has slashed an impressive .308/.407/.532 with 12 homers, 28 RBI, 17 stolen bases and a 48/42 K/BB ratio over 307 plate appearances in 69 games at Triple-A St. Paul this season. He has all of the tools to make an immediate impact from a fantasy perspective.

Ramón Urías hit a two-run homer and walked against his former team as the Cardinals topped the Orioles 7-5 on Thursday.

Urías just returned Sunday from missing 3 1/2 months with an elbow injury, so the homer off Trevor Rogers today was his first since Apr. 6. Masyn Winn’s injury has gotten Urías a little more playing time than expected this week, and he’ll be due even more if Blaze Jordan is forced to the IL after getting hurt today.

Gordon Graceffo retired all nine batters he faced, striking out four of them, to start off the Cardinals’ bullpen game Thursday against the Orioles.

The Cardinals surely got more than they expected from Graceffo in his first start since being moved to the pen in Triple-A early last year. He hadn’t pitched more than 2 1/3 innings in any of his 52 appearances this year, but he needed just 38 pitches to get nine outs today. In spite of his success, he’ll probably head back to the pen and make an appearance against the Pirates this weekend.

Riley O’Brien bounced back from a pair of losses to protect a two-run lead in the ninth and earned his 34th save Thursday against the Orioles.

O’Brien gave up one run to take a loss in a tie game last night and six runs in a blown save/loss Sunday against the Phillies, but he had an easy time in an 11-pitch ninth today. He leads the National League and is third in the majors with his 34 saves. With O’Brien and George Soriano both having pitched back-to-back days, Ryne Stanek might be in line for a save chance on Friday.

Trevor Rogers surrendered six runs in five innings Thursday in a loss to the Cardinals.

Rogers had good velocity today, struck out seven and allowed just four hard-hit balls, but the first six batters to reach against him all scored on a three-run homer in the second, a two-run homer in the fourth and an RBI single in the fifth. It’s the first time in 17 starts since May 18 that he’s allowed more than four earned runs. He should still be fine to use in Colorado next week.
