Heliot Ramos DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

San Francisco Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos (oblique) suffered an oblique strain and is expected to be kept out of the lineup for at least a few days. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, as a setback could put his availability for Opening Day in danger. After only appearing in 34 MLB games during the 2022 and 2023 seasons, Ramos logged a career-high 121 contests during the 2024 season. Across this stint, Ramos held a .269/.322/.469 slash line. Ramos launched 22 home runs and added 22 doubles. He generated an elite .481 xSLG and a 47.5 percent hard-hit rate. However, he struck out at a high 26.1 percent rate and drew walks at a low 7.1 percent rate. When healthy, Ramos should have an everyday role in left field.

San Francisco Giants outfielder/designated hitter Heliot Ramos had a nice game at the plate in Tuesday's 11-0 drubbing of the Diamondbacks. Ramos went 4-for-5 with three singles and a solo home run. The 25-year-old launched a fourth-inning Blake Walston offspeed pitch deep into the left-center seats to put the Giants up 8-0. Ramos' first-half performance was rewarded with an All-Star appearance, but his second half has left a lot to be desired. He is now slashing .229/.266/.399 with seven HR, 24 RBI, and four stolen bases in 223 second-half at-bats. Hopefully, he can end the season on a bit of a hot streak to instill some confidence going into the 2025 season.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos (thumb) is starting in center field and is batting second for the Giants on Tuesday against the hosting Washington Nationals and left-hander MacKenzie Gore. Ramos is back in the fold for San Fran after missing three of the last four games due to swelling in his right thumb. Fantasy managers will want to get the 24-year-old first-time All-Star back into their starting lineups, especially since he's hit a cool .423 (30-for-71) with seven of his 15 home runs on the year against left-handed pitchers. Since the All-Star break, the right-handed hitting Puerto Rican outfielder has gone 13-for-56 (.232) with a homer, two doubles, a triple, seven RBI and a run scored in 14 games played. In his first extended chance at the big-league level, Ramos has helped as outfield depth in fantasy leagues in 2024 with 15 homers while hitting .285 (83-for-291).
