Rays' Harold Ramirez: Adds three more hits to ledger
Ramirez went 3-for-4 in Sunday's 7-1 loss to the Blue Jays.
Ramirez has piled up nine hits over his last six games to lift his season average to .313 over 405 plate appearances. The 28-year-old isn't offering much else from a fantasy perspective (six home runs, three stolen bases, 54 RBI and 44 runs), but the excellent average alone makes him worth rostering for managers who need help in that category.

Jesse Winker DH | NYM
Mariners' Jesse Winker: Productive as in-game replacement
Winker entered Saturday's win over the Royals as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning and remained in the game as the designated hitter, going 2-for-3 with a run.
Winker delivered the first of two singles upon being called on to hit for Luis Torrens, coming around to score on Cal Raleigh's 444-foot shot to right a batter later. The veteran outfielder had originally been out of the lineup due to the presence of a southpaw, Kris Bubic, on the mound for the Royals, but his insertion into the game led to Winker snapping a stretch of 14 plate appearances without a hit.
