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.
