Ramirez is starting in left field and hitting ninth Friday against the White Sox.
So far it appears that Ramirez will hit near the top of the order against righties (usually second) and at the bottom of the order against lefties while serving as the go-to left fielder while Michael Brantley is out. Of course, with shoddy options at the other outfield positions, Ramirez could emerge as a starting option even after Brantley comes back if he continues to hit at a solid clip.
