Miami Marlins catcher/first baseman Agustin Ramirez made an early statement Thursday, crushing a 425-foot two-run homer off David Festa in the first inning, his 13th of the season. He finished 1-for-4 with two lineouts but posted the game's two hardest-hit balls at 111.3 and 108.4 mph. Ramirez continues to flash elite power and is gaining serious fantasy appeal. The 23-year-old is slashing .248/.296/.479 over 61 games. With catcher and first base eligibility, he brings lineup flexibility that adds even more value. Ramirez is rostered in 60% of Yahoo Fantasy leagues and is a must-add for fantasy managers needing help at catcher or corner infield.

Miami Marlins catcher Agustin Ramirez went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI, and two runs scored in Thursday's 12-5 win against the Giants. This was his second straight multi-hit game, and he's now slashing .247/.294/.466 with 12 home runs through 55 games. That works out to a 35 home run pace over 162 games, which is elite power for a catcher. The 23-year-old starts as the designated hitter nearly every time he isn't catching, which leads to more plate appearances than most other backstops in the league. Ramirez can safely be viewed as a top-10 catcher for the rest of the season.

Miami Marlins catcher/designated hitter Agustin Ramirez had a big Friday night to lead the Fish to a 6-2 win over the Atlanta Braves. Ramirez came to the plate with two men on in the bottom of the third inning and hit a 436-foot blast against right-hander Didier Fuentes. He later knocked in another run on a single to finish 2-for-4 with four RBI. Ramirez now has four HRs and 10 RBI in 17 games in June, though he has hit just .208 (15-for-72) with 12:3 K:BB this month. Overall, the 23-year-old rookie has held his own with a .239/.290/.458 line, 11 HRs, 27 RBI, 24 runs, and a 16.6% strikeout rate in 217 plate appearances. Ramirez will take on Braves right-hander Grant Holmes for the first time on Saturday.

Miami Marlins catcher Agustin Ramirez swatted two solo homers in an 11-9 win over the Washington Nationals. Ramirez homered in the first and third innings, both off Mitchell Parker, and also singled and scored in the eighth. The 23-year-old had been slumping at the plate in June, hitting just .128 with a .355 OPS in 39 at-bats coming into this one, so hopefully this game gets him going. Ramirez has still been a solid bat this year, hitting .237 with 22 runs, 10 homers, 21 RBI, and a stolen base over 173 at-bats. It's nothing incredible, but it's solid production from the catcher position. Ramirez is a solid starting option in fantasy and should be rostered in most leagues.

Miami Marlins catcher Agustin Ramirez went 4-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in his team's 10-8 win against the San Diego Padres. He scored twice and singled thrice to pick up the first four-hit game of his career. The 23-year-old occupied the leadoff spot in this one, and the only time the Padres could keep him off the base paths was to lead off the game. However, it's worth noting that at-bat was a 336-foot 105.4-MPH fly out, so even then, he still got a hold of it. He'd homer in his next at-bat -- his seventh of the season -- but most of Ramirez's damage came late when he pushed two runs across in the top of the eighth to give his team a 9-7 lead. He's cooled considerably since his hot start, but this may be enough to get him going again. The rookie is slashing a respectable .262/.318/.525 in his first taste of big-league action.

Miami Marlins catcher Agustin Ramirez and outfielder Derek Hill are not in the starting lineup on Saturday when they continue a series against the Tampa Bay Rays. Since being promoted to the major leagues, Ramirez has taken the starting job behind the dish. Over his last 10 games, Ramirez has been productive at the plate, holding a .297/.381/.596 slash line with five doubles and two home runs. In addition, outfielder Derek Hill will take a seat. Hill has started in each of the past four games since returning from the injured list. Over his last four, Hill has held a .214 AVG with two RBI. As a result, Nick Fortes will be behind the dish and Liam Hicks will serve as the DH. The Marlins are best to fade in DFS this afternoon, facing Tampa right-hander Drew Rasmussen.

Miami Marlins catching prospect Agustin Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a double and a home run during their 3-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday evening. Ramirez went deep in the fourth inning against Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon. Over his last nine games, the young backstop has been swinging a hot bat, posting a stellar .294/.351/.588 slash line with four doubles, two home runs, and a 10:3 K:BB. Overall, the 23-year-old has looked quite comfortable through his first taste of the major leagues, holding a .260/.305/.571 line with nine doubles and five long balls across a 20-game stint. Under the hood, he has generated an impressive 51.7% hard-hit rate and a 12.1% barrel rate, which suggests his power numbers should continue to remain consistent. He should be viewed as a C1 in all formats, given his power upside.

Miami Marlins catcher Agustin Ramirez is sitting on Monday. The 23-year-old had been designated hitter on days when he wasn't catching since his recent call-up, but has gone ice-cold after a torrid start. The right-handed hitter went 9-for-19 (.474) with seven extra-base hits over his first five games, but has since gone 1-for-24 (.042). Nick Fortes, who recently returned from injury, will catch and bat eighth, while Connor Norby will start at DH and bat fifth. Fortes doesn't offer much with the bat, and Norby is mired in a 2-for-21 (.095) slump of his own, so DFS players may want to look elsewhere for offense tonight. Ramirez managers will want to get him out of the lineup if they have another option is available.

Miami Marlins catcher Agustin Ramirez continued to impress on Sunday, going 2-for-5 with two solo home runs in a 7-6 loss to the Mariners. He has been nothing short of spectacular to begin his major league career, slashing .474/.524/1.158 through his first five games. Seven of his nine hits have been for extra bases, with three home runs and four doubles. He's also stolen one base so far, showing off his legs that led to 22 stolen bases in the minors last season. Ramirez has 20 home run and 20 steal upside which is extremely rare for a catcher, and is a must-add unless you already have an elite catcher.

Miami Marlins catcher Agustin Ramirez kept on hitting on Friday, going 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, two RBI, and a run scored in the 8-4 win over the Mariners. The home run was his first, and it marked the third consecutive multi-hit performance to begin his big league career. Not only that, the 23-year-old has drawn two free passes and has yet to strike out in 12 plate appearances. The Marlins' fourth-ranked prospect is making good on the promise he showed in the minors and is looking like a fantasy stud so far, now 7-for-10 (.700) with five of the seven hits going for extra bases. The Dominican backstop has also stolen a base, somewhat of a rarity for catchers, and is eligible at both C and 1B on Yahoo!, making him all the more appealing. His rostership stands at 31 percent, but is worth a roster spot in all formats until he proves otherwise.

Miami Marlins rookie catcher Agustin Ramirez has burst on the MLB scene in his first few games this week, but he'll get the day off for Wednesday's series finale against the Cincinnati Reds at loanDepot Park. Liam Hicks is doing the catching for right-hander Sandy Alcantara and will bat seventh against Reds right-hander Brady Singer. In his first two major-league games, Ramirez has come out swinging, going 5-for-6 with three doubles, an RBI, stolen base, run scored, two walks and no strikeouts. It will be impossible for the 23-year-old backstop to keep that kind of pace up, but he has quickly earned considerable playing time for the lowly Marlins alongside Hicks. Hicks is also in his rookie season with Miami and has slashed .239/.321/.348 with a .669 OPS, one homer, two doubles, 11 RBI and five runs scored in his first 17 games played.

Miami Marlins catching prospect Agustin Ramirez went 3-for-3 with two doubles, an RBI, and a walk during their 4-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday evening. Ramirez made his MLB debut on Monday and has enjoyed an impressive start to his MLB career. Over his first two games, Ramirez has gone 5-for-6 with three doubles, two walks, one stolen base, and no strikeouts. Given his impressive start, fantasy managers should expect the No. 4-ranked prospect in the Miami system to continue to see the majority of starts behind the dish. Earlier in the season, Ramirez held a solid .252/.313/.479 slash line with seven doubles and three long balls in just 19 games. Last season, Ramirez hit 25 home runs and swiped 22 bags in 126 MiLB games. Given his five-category upside at the catcher position, he should be viewed as a strong option in standard formats heading into his matchup on Wednesday against Cincinnati right-hander Brady Singer.

Miami Marlins catcher Agustin Ramirez will get another start behind the dish on Tuesday and will bat cleanup. The 23-year-old made his MLB debut on Monday and went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, a run scored, and a stolen base. The double registered at 110.4 mph off the bat, displaying the power that the 6-foot-1 backstop brings to the table, and the stolen base made good on the baserunning prowess he's shown during his time in the minors. Liam Hicks will sit for the third straight game and could become the backup to Ramirez if the latter continues to hit. Ramirez is worth adding in most leagues given his stolen-base potential at the catcher position, and his dual eligibility at both C and 1B on Yahoo! provides some added fantasy appeal.

Miami Marlins catcher Agustin Ramirez had a debut to remember, going 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, a run scored, and a stolen base in a 6-3 win over the Cincinnati Reds. First game? Check. First hit? Check. First steal? Check. First win? Check. It couldn't have gone much better for the Marlins' No. 4 prospect, who has a very good shot at getting some playing time if he keeps up the strong play. Ramirez hit .267 with a .845 OPS while smacking 25 homers and swiping 22 bags in the minors last year, so his upside is a five-category contributor at a position that doesn't have many like that. He's worth an add for anyone who isn't set at the catcher position.

Miami Marlins catcher Agustin Ramirez is being recalled to the major league roster and is expected to make his debut against the Reds this homestand, according to Craig Mish. The top prospect was slashing .258/.320/.500 with three home runs and five stolen bases in Triple-A, which are numbers that will certainly play at a weak position. In 126 games between Double-A and Triple-A in 2024, he hit .267 with 25 home runs and 22 steals. That type of power and speed is extremely rare for a catcher, making him worth an add in all two-catcher leagues.

Miami Marlins catching prospect Agustin Ramirez went 2-for-5 with his third home run of the Triple-A regular season on Thursday against Triple-A Memphis. Ramirez has enjoyed a strong start to the season and is nearing his MLB debut. Through 17 contests, the backstop has posted a .274/.338/.532 slash line with three home runs and five stolen bases. Ramirez was one of the prospects included in the Jazz Chisholm Jr. trade last summer. He enjoyed similar success at Triple-A last season, holding a .246/.345/.411 line with nine home runs and nine stolen bases. Fantasy managers should continue to keep a close eye on Ramirez's progression with Jacksonville, as he could push for an early MLB debut given his previous experience and success at Triple-A.

Miami Marlins catching prospect Agustin Ramirez went 2-for-4 with his first home run of the Triple-A regular season on Wednesday against Charlotte. This outing extended his current hitting streak to five games. Through the first 10 games of Triple-A Jacksonville's regular season, Ramirez has posted a .275/.318/.475 slash line with five doubles, one long ball, and a 3:13 BB:K. Ramirez has also swiped two bags and tallied seven RBI. The 23-year-old was in contention to break camp with the major league roster but fell just short in the competition. However, if the backstop can begin to hit for power, he may not need much more time in the minor leagues. Last summer, across 68 games at Triple-A, he posted a .245/.345/.411 line. If he continues to perform well, he could find a role in the majors as Nick Fortes and Liam Hicks have yet to show consistent production in the major leagues.

Miami Marlins catching prospect Agustin Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville. Ramirez was competing for a spot on the Opening Day roster during camp. In spring training, Ramirez held a .235/.381/.647 line with one double and two home runs. With Ramirez opening the season at the Triple-A level, fantasy managers should expect Nick Fortes, Liam Hicks, and Rob Brantly to compete for starts in the majors. The Marlins acquired Ramirez from the New York Yankees in the trade that sent Jazz Chisholm Jr. to the Bronx. Across 68 games at the Triple-A level, the 23-year-old held a .246/.345/.411 slash line with 12 doubles and nine home runs. Fantasy managers in NL-only formats should continue to monitor his progression at Triple-A, as he should be in contention to make his MLB debut later in the season.

Miami Marlins catcher/first base prospect Agustin Ramirez belted his first home run of the spring on Thursday, and it couldn't have come at a better time. With the Marlins trailing 1-0 in the ninth, Ramirez drilled a solo blast that would tie the game 1-1, which would go on to be the final score in the Grapefruit League contest. Ramirez ranks as the Marlins' No. 4 overall prospect, but although he is a catcher by trade, most believe he'll end up at first base, which might be how he gets to the majors sooner rather than later. Miami has veteran Nick Fortes penciled in as the starter with fellow prospect Liam Hicks expected to win the backup role come Opening Day. The 23-year-old hit 25 home runs last season between Double-A and Triple-A but flashed some sneaky base-stealing chops, swiping 22 bags during the campaign. The right-handed hitter also draws a lot of walks, helping him to a career .354 OBP in the minors. An offensive-minded catcher is appealing in fantasy, and he also carries eligibility at both C and 1B, adding to his rosterability once he gets to the big leagues, which should be sometime in 2025.

Miami Marlins catching prospect Agustin Ramirez has focused on improving his defense during spring training. Ramirez worked on his ability to throw out opposing baserunners during the offseason. Marlins president of baseball operations Peter Bendix noted that Ramirez is a catcher. Ramirez has shown steady development at the plate and is expected to be the team's backstop of the future. The Marlins acquired Ramirez from the Yankees in the trade that sent Jazz Chisholm Jr. to the Bronx. The 23-year-old logged 68 games at the Triple-A level last season and held a .246/.345/.411 slash line with 12 doubles and nine home runs. However, once he joined the Marlins, Ramirez took a step forward as he held a .262/.358/.447 slash line with five long balls. If he continues to show growth in spring training, he could push to break the Opening Day roster or earn an early 2025 debut.
