Ramos hits fifth homer of season
Heliot Ramos went 2-for-2 with a two-run homer and also walked four times on Wednesday, powering the Giants to a 9-3 blowout victory over the Diamondbacks. Ramos served as San Francisco’s primary offensive catalyst on Wednesday afternoon at Chase Field, sparking a six-run outburst in the third inning with a colossal 424-foot moonshot off Diamondbacks starter Jordan Montgomery. It was his fifth round-tripper of the season. The 24-year-old outfielder wound up reaching base safely in all six of his plate appearances in this one to raise his triple-slash line to a robust .304/.407/.511 with five homers, 19 RBI and one steal across 26 games. He’s outlasted fellow youngster Luis Matos for an everyday role at the highest level and is looking like a nice find for fantasy managers off the waiver wire.
Seager’s hamstring injury not believed to be serious
Rangers’ manager Bruce Bochy told reporters after Wednesday’s victory over the Tigers that the hamstring injury sustained by Corey Seager isn’t believed to be serious. Bochy noted that his removal from Wednesday’s contest was a precautionary measure and Seager won’t even go for an MRI exam. It’s possible that he’ll get a day off to rest to be on the safe side, but he shouldn’t be looking at any sort of extended absence. Fantasy managers and Rangers’ fans can now breathe a tremendous sigh of relief.
