Wilson Ramos Homers In Marathon Tuesday Game Versus Miami
6 years agoTampa Bay Rays catcher Wilson Ramos hit an early home run to get the Rays on the board Tuesday versus the Marlins. He would reach four times and finish with two runs scored and two driven in. The HR was his 12th of the season. Ramos is among the league leaders for hits as a catcher in 2018. Ramos now has the 12 home runs and 45 RBI to go with a fantasy-friendly .291 batting average. The batting average and stats are much more appealing given the standards for catchers to be useful in fantasy. His 2015 season was a success, as he hit 22 HRs with 80 runs batted in and a .307 batting average over 131 games played. There is also speculation that Ramos and Washington could be a good fit in the mid-season trade market. Washington could use some offensive help at the position and the Rays likely would like to get something for Ramos before he becomes a free agent. He has never been a major source of runs scored, but if he can stay healthy, he has the upside of a starter in most fantasy leagues. A trade to Washington might even help Ramos out slightly. If you have the bench space, the smart play is to pair Ramos with a steady catcher.
