Pedro Ramírez is on the bench for Wednesday’s series finale against the Tigers.
Ramírez takes a seat for the second straight game after starting three consecutive contests earlier this week. The 22-year-old infielder hasn’t really gotten an extended opportunity with the Cubs. He would be interesting for fantasy purposes in an everyday role. He made the leap from a unheralded contact-oriented hitter with limited power into a potential top-tier prospect with elite bat-to-ball skills and upper-echelon exit velocities earlier this year at the Triple-A level. He’s a name to watch at the upcoming trade deadline in case his playing time equation changes.
