Rotowire
Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a run scored and two stolen bases in Friday's 6-2 win over the Mets.
The rookie catcher has showed off his speed during the second half of the season -- he now has five multi-steal games since the start of August. Ramirez has still cooled down considerably at the dish after a torrid start to his major-league career, as he has a .639 OPS since the beginning of July, but he still looks like Miami's backstop for the future. Through 531 at-bats, Ramirez is batting .232 with 21 homers, 33 doubles, 67 RBI and 16 stolen bases.
Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Wednesday's 8-4 win against the Rockies.
Ramirez's first RBI came on a sacrifice fly that snapped a 3-3 tie in the sixth inning. Two frames later, he provided a pair of insurance runs with a two-run blast to left-center field. Ramirez extended his hitting streak to eight games with the homer, and he's batting an even .300 (9-for-30) with two long balls and six RBI during that stretch. He's been a valuable contributor at the catcher position for fantasy managers, posting a .231/.289/.420 slash line with 21 home runs, 29 doubles, 67 runs, 66 RBI and 12 stolen bases over 126 games as a rookie.
Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Friday's 8-2 win over the Tigers.

Marlins' Agustin Ramirez: Rare day off Wednesday
Rotowire
Ramirez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.
Since getting the call to the big leagues April 21, Ramirez has shouldered one of the heavier workloads among all backstops in baseball, as he's often served as the designated hitter on his non-catching days. The Marlins will give Ramirez a rare day off from both playing defense and hitting, as he'll take a seat after starting in each of the last 14 games. Liam Hicks will step in behind the plate Wednesday, and Heriberto Hernandez will get the nod at DH.
