José Ramírez homers, steals base in win over A’s

José Ramírez

CLE 3rd Baseman #11

Player Stats

José Ramírez went 2-for-5 with a solo homer, two RBI and a stolen base on Friday, propelling the Guardians to a 5-3 win over the Athletics.

It’s been a down year for Ramírez based on his surreal track record of first-round fantasy production that stretches back nearly a decade. However, he’s come on strong approaching the finish line when the Guardians, and fantasy managers, have needed him most this season. The 34-year-old stalwart came through with a game-tying RBI single in the fourth inning before extending Cleveland’s lead with a solo homer in the sixth inning. It was his 12th big fly of the season. He also picked up his 34th stolen base of the year in this one. With the victory, the Guardians remain in a virtual tie with the White Sox for the AL Central division title with just over one week left in the regular season.

José Ramírez

CLE 3rd Baseman #11

José Ramírez went 2-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI as the Guardians defeated the White Sox 6-3 on Wednesday afternoon.

J-Ram has struggled badly since returning from a fractured hamate bone earlier this summer. Wednesday’s doubles were his first extra-base hits in September. While he has somewhat salvaged his fantasy performance with 33 stolen bases, his .230 batting average and lack of power have taken their toll on teams where he was a first-round selection. Determining to what degree his second-half struggles can be attributed to the injury will go a long way toward setting his 2027 ADP and bounce-back potential.

CLE 3rd Baseman #11

José Ramírez singled and stole two bases in Monday’s loss to the White Sox.

Ramírez hasn’t delivered his usual first-round fantasy production this season, mostly due to the lingering impact of a mid-June hamate fracture. However, he’s still managed to reach the lofty 30-steal plateau for the third consecutive season.
José Ramírez

CLE 3rd Baseman #11

José Ramírez is not in the Guardians’ starting lineup for Sunday’s divisional battle against the Twins in Minneapolis.

The 33-year-old superstar has really struggled since returning from a broken hamate bone, slashing a woeful .214/.289/.270 with just one homer, 15 RBI and seven stolen bases in 180 plate appearances across 42 games. Angel Genao will cover third base in his absence and will bat seventh for the Guardians against Twins’ right-hander Joe Ryan.

CLE 3rd Baseman #11

José Ramírez finished 0-for-4 with a walk and committed his 10th error Wednesday against the Orioles.

Ramírez dropped a routine foul popup from Coby Mayo for the error. Mayo then hit the next pitch 407 feet for a solo homer. The hitless game leaves Ramírez 5-for-36 with no extra-base hits this month. He’s hit .227/.304/.287 with one home run in 40 games since returning from a broken hamate bone, an injury that has a history of sapping power from hitters.

CLE 3rd Baseman #11

José Ramírez is not in the Guardians’ starting lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Tigers.

It looks to be nothing more than a routine day off for the superstar third baseman after playing in both halves of Friday’s doubleheader and Saturday’s contest as well. Look for him to make an appearance off the bench in a key late-game situation if needed. Angel Genao will cover third base in his absence and bat sixth against Tigers’ right-hander Jackson Jobe on Sunday afternoon in Cleveland.
José Ramírez

CLE 3rd Baseman #11

José Ramírez went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk, four RBI, and two runs scored as the Guardians crushed the Royals 11-1 on Sunday.

The homer was a two-run blast off Seth Lugo in the fourth, J-Ram’s first since June 6. He missed time with a hamate injury, which has since sapped some of his power. It was only his 11th homer of the season, though he’s partially made up for it with 31 stolen bases. Ramírez is on pace for his third consecutive 40-steal season despite the injury. Flashing more power down the stretch will go a long way toward easing any concerns fantasy managers have entering 2027, his age-34 campaign.
José Ramírez

CLE 3rd Baseman #11

José Ramírez drove in five runs, doubled three times and stolen a base to help the Guardians to an 8-6 extra-inning win over the Angels on Tuesday.

Ramírez’s final double was in the 10th inning to score a pair, and it gave Cleveland an 8-6 lead and ultimately the victory. The stolen base is the 30th of the season for the perennial MVP candidate. Because of injury and inconsistent play, he won’t be in those discussions this year, but Tuesday showed that he’s nowhere close to done being an impactful player.

CLE 3rd Baseman #11

José Ramírez is not in the Guardians’ starting lineup for Sunday afternoon’s battle against the Rockies.

The 33-year-old superstar will get a rare day off in this one, which is very unfortunate for fantasy managers as they’re at Coors Field and taking on right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano. Expect to see him off the bench if needed on Sunday. Angel Genao will start in his place at third base and bat fifth for the Guardians.
José Ramírez

CLE 3rd Baseman #11

José Ramírez went 1-for-3 with a double, a run scored and an RBI against the Padres on Saturday.

Ramírez was 12-for-61 (.197) with 11 runs, four RBI and five steals in 18 games since returning from the injured list entering play Saturday. The 33-year-old third baseman got the day off Friday and came back with a strong day at the plate Saturday. Ramírez had a double and scored in the first inning and drove in a run with a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning. Ramírez is hitting .232 with a .717 OPS and 38 RBI on the year.

CLE 3rd Baseman #11

José Ramírez is not in the Guardians starting lineup for Friday’s game against the Padres.

Ramírez is drawing walks but has just two hits over his last four games since his last day off on Saturday. With Angel Genao up and Travis Bazanna and Brayan Rocchio playing well, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Guardians continued to give Ramírez more rest than usual. Genao is in there against RHP Michael King today.

Brayan Bello allowed one run with 11 strikeouts over eight innings in a no-decision against the Rays on Saturday.

Bello had allowed two baserunners through three scoreless innings before giving up a solo homer to Jonathan Aranda to lead off the bottom of the fourth. He bounced back with four more scoreless frames, giving the Red Sox eight innings of one-run ball in what was his best outing of the season. The 27-year-old right-hander ends the day with a 4.49 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, and a 90/35 K/BB ratio across 112 1/3 innings. Saturday’s effort might have earned him another start before the end of the season as the team tries to keep its rotation fresh for the postseason.
