Pedro Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, two runs scored and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 12-6 win over the Washington Nationals.
Fantasy Impact
Ramirez drew the start at third base and took full advantage of the opportunity, recording two hits and stealing two bases. Although he has been limited to 22 at-bats in August, he has still found ways to produce, scoring five runs, stealing three bases and recording two extra-base hits.
Pedro Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and an RBI in Friday's 6-4 win over the Kansas City Royals.
Fantasy Impact
Ramirez hit a 363-foot home run off Mason Black in the eighth inning for his second homer of the season. He's struggled in August, going 3-for-16, but Friday's performance could be the start of a turnaround after a strong showing.
Pedro Ramirez went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 2-1 loss against the New York Yankees.
Fantasy Impact
Ramirez served as the designated hitter on Sunday and, while he did not record a hit, he was able to draw a walk and steal second base. He owns a .325/.391/.481 slash line with one home run and five stolen bases over his last 30 games. Despite the strong production, he remains difficult to trust in season-long leagues due to his inconsistent playing time.
Pedro Ramirez went 3-for-5 with a double, one run scored, one RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 10-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact
Ramirez has recorded at least two hits in three straight games and is riding an eight-game hitting streak. He's started four of the Chicago Cubs' last five games, seeing time at second base, third base and designated hitter as the club continues to find ways to keep his hot bat in the lineup. Ramirez owns a .405/.439/.595 slash line with six extra-base hits and two stolen bases across 37 at-bats in July. Given his consistent playing time and recent production, he's worth a waiver-wire pickup in deeper fantasy leagues.
The Cubs have called up prospect Pedro Ramirez.
Fantasy Impact
Ramirez gets an opportunity in the majors with Matt Shaw placed on the injured list. He has slashed .312/.395/.547 with nine home runs and 40 RBI in Triple-A this season. It is unclear what role exactly he'll be stepping into.
