Agustin Ramírez tallied a career-high four hits, including his seventh home run of the season, propelling the Marlins to a 10-8 victory over the Padres.

Ramírez put together the strongest performance of his rookie campaign out of the leadoff spot during Wednesday afternoon’s back-and-forth slugfest at Petco Park, finishing 4-for-5 with four RBI. The 23-year-old catcher took Padres starter Kyle Hart deep for a solo shot in the fourth inning – his seventh big fly of the year – before adding a pair of run-scoring singles later in the contest. He’s off to a phenomenal start at the dish, hitting .262/.318/.525 with 17 runs scored, seven homers, 17 RBI and one steal through 31 games.

Agustín Ramírez went 2-for-4 with an RBI on Tuesday, propelling the Marlins to a 5-4 extra-inning win over the Dodgers.

The Marlins are starting to get creative in an effort to keep Ramírez’s bat in the lineup on a regular basis now that Nick Fortes is back in the catching rotation. The 23-year-old top prospect got on-base in three of his five plate appearances and has three extra-base hits in his last five games. He’s cooled off a bit after a remarkable first couple days in the majors, but he should be playing everyday for Miami.

After hitting a three-run homer off the bench on Monday, Agustín Ramírez is back in the Marlins lineup as a DH on Tuesday.

It’s good that Ramírez is playing, but he’s now caught just once in six games. The Marlins are eventually going to have to commit to going forward with him as a catcher, which might mean sending him back to Triple-A, or to give up on him there, which, given his struggles defensively, is a legitimate option. The Marlins have Liam Hicks behind the plate tonight after starting Nick Fortes the previous two games.

Agustín Ramírez hit a three-run homer in one of his two at-bats off the bench Monday against the Dodgers.

Ramírez had been 1-for-24 since his two-homer game on Apr. 28, which is probably part of why he didn’t start tonight. Especially with the Marlins having Nick Fortes back — he’s caught the last two days — Ramírez is probably not a mixed-league catcher right now, even though he still offers that kind of potential.

Ramírez has been the talk of the fantasy baseball universe since arriving in the majors last week, hitting .474 (9-for-19) with three homers, five RBI and one steal through his first five games. The 23-year-old has some legitimate defensive concerns, but he’s one of the most advanced hitters of any catching prospect in the game and possesses uncommon stolen base prowess for a below-average runner. He’s rostered in all fantasy formats at this juncture and should remain a middle-of-the-order run producer in the heart of Miami’s lineup.

Agustín Ramírez went 2-for-5 and clobbered a pair of solo home runs on Sunday afternoon, but it wasn’t enough to power the Marlins past the Mariners in Seattle.

The 23-year-old phenom opened the scoring in the ballgame with a 404-foot (105.1 mph EV) solo shot off of Logan Evans in the top half of the first inning. He then tagged Collin Snider for a 421-foot (108.7 mph EV) blast in the sixth inning that pulled the Marlins to within four runs at 7-3. Fantasy managers who were hoping Ramírez would have a quiet debut so they could sneak him through for a reasonable bid on Sunday night are completely out of luck as he has slashed a ridiculous .474/.524/1.158 with three homers, five RBI and a stolen base. Expect him to remain a force in the middle of the Marlins’ lineup.

Ramírez also doubled, and the 23-year-old hit his first MLB homer with a two-run blast off Casey Lawrence. The former New York prospect has been ridiculous with the bat, and while it’s a small sample, hitting .700 with a 1.400 OPS in any amount of playing time deserves admiration. Ramírez has significant upside, and it’s not a crazy notion whatsoever to consider him for a roster spot.

Agustín Ramírez went 3-for-3 with an RBI double and a walk to lead the Marlins past the Reds 4-3 on Tuesday.

We’re not sure whether Ramírez would have started today if he hadn’t reached three times in his debut game Monday, but he was in there and even elevated to the cleanup spot. He’s now 5-for-6 with two doubles and two walks to begin his MLB career. He’s a huge question mark behind the plate, but if he keeps hitting, the Marlins have plenty of room to carry him as a first baseman and DH. It’d just be a matter if they think he might benefit more from catching regularly in the minors after Nick Fortes returns. Of course, they also don’t really have anything to lose from just letting him catch in the majors.

Agustín Ramírez went 2-for-3 with a double and a stolen base on Monday against the Reds in his major-league debut.

Ramírez beat out an infield single in the second inning for his first major-league hit before coming around to score on Ronny Simon’s double later in the frame. He walloped a 110.4-mph ground-rule double to left-center field in the seventh inning against reliever Alexis Díaz to complete the multi-hit performance. He picked up his first career stolen base later in the frame. The defensive questions persist, but he possesses an intriguing blend of fantasy-relevant offensive skills with decent pop and uncanny baserunning savvy for a catcher. He’s worthy of a speculative roster spot in all fantasy formats.

Agustín Ramírez and Ronny Simon are in the Marlins lineup for their major league debuts Monday against the Reds.

Ramírez is catching and batting sixth, and Simon, who was called up Sunday, is DHing and batting ninth versus Nick Lodolo. Both players might play primarily against left-handers for now.

Marlins recalled C Agustín Ramírez from Triple-A Jacksonville.

Ramírez’s bat might be ready, but the glove was the reason the Marlins picked Rob Brantly over him when Nick Fortes went down; there’s a good chance he’s going to wind up doing something other than catching in the majors. For now, he’ll share time with Liam Hicks behind the plate.

Craig Mish of Sportsgrid reports that the Marlins plan to promote top catching prospect Agustin Ramirez from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

Rob Brantly was pulled from Sunday’s game due to a shoulder injury and it sounds like he could be heading to the injured list. The 23-year-old has hit .258/.320/.500 with three homers, 12 RBI and five stolen bases in his first 18 games at Triple-A Jacksonville this season. If he sees regular action with the Marlins, his dynamic blend of power and speed would make him an intriguing option in two-catcher formats and deeper mixed leagues.
