RecapPedro Ramírez doubled in a run and walked against the Astros in his first major league start Sunday.
The 86-mph double to right-center looked like an out off the bat, but center fielder Jake Meyers had him played to pull and wound up having to run a long way before coming up just short on a diving attempt. Before drawing the start at second today, Ramírez had just one at-bat in his first two days on the Cubs’ roster. It’s hard to see a path to significant playing time here without an injury, but he’d be interesting as a starting infielder.
