AI Summary
Jose Ramirez went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Cleveland's loss to the Reds, raising his season average to .220 despite ongoing struggles at the plate.
It was his first three-hit effort of the season, even if two of the hits were singles and he didn't provide much juice with them. Ramirez fought hard to undo his ghastly 25 at-bats in March with a .250/.384/.500 April, but he's hit just .216/.359/.255 in May and entered play today with a .207 average for the season. This effort raised it to .220. The underlying metrics continue to believe that Ramirez will pull out of this, as he has a .370 xwOBA against a .318 actual wOBA. It is worth noting that his strikeout rate has creeped up to 14.2 percent this year, but fantasy managers should expect him to come alive sooner rather than later.
