Agustín Ramírez Fantasy Stats

Miami Marlins President of Baseball Operations Peter Bendix said that catcher Agustin Ramirez will play both behind the plate and at first base going forward, according to Kevin Barral of Fish on First. The Marlins recalled Ramirez from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday after trading catcher/first baseman Liam Hicks to the Tampa Bay Rays at the trade deadline. Ramirez was demoted to Triple-A in early May, mostly due to his poor defensive metrics as a catcher. While it appears that Miami could be priming him for a full-time position switch, Ramirez will still see occasional catching duties now that he's back in the big leagues. The 24-year-old hit 21 home runs and 16 stolen bases across 585 plate appearances with Miami in 2025, so he carries a rare combination of power and speed for a catcher. Ramirez's fantasy value is tightly connected to his ability to retain catcher eligibility.

The Miami Marlins are calling up catcher Agustin Ramirez from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, according to Kevin Barral of Fish on First. Ramirez will join the team for their series in Atlanta this week against the division-rival Atlanta Braves, and he could be the team's primary backstop over Joe Mack after the Marlins traded catcher/first baseman Liam Hicks to the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday. The 24-year-old Dominican slugger was sent back to the farm earlier this year to work on his defensive skills behind the plate after hitting .230 (26-for-113) with two homers, 14 RBI, 14 runs, and three steals in 31 games played. Ramirez impressed with a .231/.287/.414 slash line, .701 OPS, 21 home runs, 67 RBI, 16 stolen bases, and 72 runs scored in 136 games and 585 plate appearances in 2025 in his first year in the big leagues. With the Jumbo Shrimp down on the farm, Ramirez slashed .254/.332/.427 with seven home runs, 29 RBI, and 17 stolen bases. It's unclear how much playing time Miami will give Ramirez now that he's back in the majors, but his power/speed upside alone at the catching position makes him an intriguing waiver-wire pickup. He's rostered in just over 30% of Yahoo leagues.

The Miami Marlins traded away catcher/first baseman Liam Hicks to the Tampa Bay Rays at Monday's trade deadline, opening up a clear path for catcher Agustin Ramirez to return to the big leagues. The 24-year-old Dominican backstop hit .231/.287/.413 with 21 home runs, 67 RBI, 16 stolen bases, and 72 runs scored in 136 games (585 plate appearances) with the Marlins as a rookie in 2025. Ramirez only appeared in 31 games (129 plate appearances) earlier this year before being sent to Triple-A Jacksonville in May after hitting .230 (26-for-113) with two homers, 14 RBI, three stolen bases, 13 walks, and 28 strikeouts. With both Hicks and Joe Mack on the roster, the Marlins were afforded the luxury of sending Ramirez back to the minors to improve his defensive work behind the plate. In 59 games with the Jumbo Shrimp this year, Ramirez has hit .254/.332/.427 with a .759 OPS, seven home runs, 29 RBI, 17 steals, and 33 runs scored in 241 plate appearances. His combination of power and speed at the catcher position is rare, making him worth a speculative waiver-wire pickup before his eventual return to the majors. Ramirez is currently rostered in just over 30% of Yahoo leagues.

Miami Marlins catcher Agustin Ramirez hit 21 homers, drove in 67 runs, and stole 16 bases in 136 games and 585 plate appearances as a rookie in 2025, but he has appeared in just 31 games for the Fish in 2026, hitting .230 (26-for-113) with two homers, 14 RBI, and three steals. The 24-year-old Dominican backstop has been toiling in the minors at Triple-A Jacksonville as he tries to improve his defensive skills, and the Marlins have been content to leave him on the farm with Liam Hicks having a solid season in the big leagues. But with Ramirez's rare power/speed skills for a catcher, fantasy managers may want to consider stashing him for the stretch run. In 50 games and 205 plate appearances at Jacksonville this year, Ramirez is slashing .242/.317/.418 with a .735 OPS, seven home runs, 27 RBI, 15 stolen bases, and 31 runs scored. The Marlins could be considering calling him up amidst their current cold streak as they try to stay relevant in the National League wild-card picture. Despite not having played in the majors since May 3, Ramirez is rostered in 33% of Yahoo leagues.

After hitting .230 with two home runs through his first 129 plate appearances of 2026, Miami Marlins catcher Agustin Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville in early May. The 24-year-old's defense behind the plate may have been the biggest reason for his demotion, and could remain a barrier to his return to the big leagues. However, Ramirez carries five-category potential that is unique at the catcher position and makes him an intriguing option for fantasy managers. Across 195 plate appearances at Triple-A this season, Ramirez is hitting .250/.328/.436 with seven home runs, 27 RBI, 30 runs scored, and 14 stolen bases. The young backstop proved he could perform at the plate in the big leagues in 2025, hitting 21 home runs and swiping 16 bags across 585 trips to the plate. Particularly in deeper league formats, Ramirez may still be worth stashing off the waiver wire for his theoretical upside.

Miami Marlins catcher Agustin Ramirez remains an intriguing stash candidate despite an underwhelming sophomore campaign. The 24-year-old is slashing .230/.318/.345 with a .663 OPS, but his underlying metrics continue to point toward untapped offensive upside. Ramirez owns a 116.9 mph max exit velocity, which ranks in the 98th percentile across Major League Baseball. He also posted an 11.0 Barrel% during the 2025 season, highlighting his ability to consistently make contact while generating above-average power. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should consider stashing Ramirez now before his bat starts to heat up.

Miami Marlins catcher Agustin Ramirez hit only .231 (124-for-537) in 136 games and 585 plate appearances in his rookie season in the big leagues with the Fish in 2025, but he added an impressive 21 home runs, 67 RBI, and 16 stolen bases. Fantasy managers were justifiably excited about Ramirez's prospects in his sophomore campaign, but he was sent to Triple-A Jacksonville after going 26-for-113 (.230) with two homers, 14 RBI, 13 walks, and 28 strikeouts across 31 games, and he has yet to return to the Show. The 24-year-old Dominican backstop has slashed .250/.327/.453 with seven home runs, 24 RBI, 11 stolen bases, and 26 runs scored in 40 games in 2026 with the Jumbo Shrimp. There is still plenty of power and speed upside with Ramirez, but the Marlins aren't forcing his return to the majors with Liam Hicks and Joe Mack holding down the catching spot just fine right now. The Marlins want Ramirez to improve his work behind the plate before he gets another shot at the big-league level. It seems like a reasonable bet that he'll be back with the Fish at some point in the second half, but fantasy managers may be running out of patience. Ramirez is rostered in 34% of Yahoo leagues currently.

After posting a .653 OPS across his first 129 plate appearances of the season, Miami Marlins catcher Agustin Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville in early May. Since his demotion, Ramirez has shown off his five-category upside, hitting .240/.309/.424 with six home runs, 17 RBI, 21 runs scored, and 11 stolen bases across 139 plate appearances. The 24-year-old also proved he can produce at the big-league level in 2025, hitting 21 home runs and stealing 16 bases across 585 plate appearances. Defense is the big question mark for Ramirez, who graded out as one of the worst defensive catchers in baseball last season. Still, Miami recently placed catcher/designated hitter Liam Hicks (back) on the 10-day injured list, which could be the opportunity Ramirez needs to get back to the Majors. Fantasy managers in need of upside at the catcher position may want to consider stashing Ramirez ahead of his impending return.

Miami Marlins catcher Agustin Ramirez is rostered in 35% of Yahoo leagues for a reason. The 24-year-old Dominican right-handed hitter has only appeared in 31 games (129 plate appearances) for the Marlins this year, hitting .230/.318/.345 with a .663 OPS, two home runs, 14 RBI, 14 runs scored, and three stolen bases. He teased his five-category upside in 136 games in his rookie season in 2025 by hitting .231/.287/.413 with a .701 OPS, 21 home runs, 67 RBI, 16 stolen bases, and 72 runs scored in 136 games across 585 plate appearances. In 29 games at Triple-A Jacksonville in 2026, Ramirez has slashed .237/.302/.412 with a .714 OPS, five home runs, five doubles, 13 RBI, 10 stolen bases, and 19 runs scored in 126 plate appearances for the Jumbo Shrimp. Liam Hicks and Joe Mack have been handling the catching duties in South Beach since Ramirez was sent down in early May. If Ramirez can clean up his defense behind the dish, he could be back in the big leagues sooner rather than later. And when he's back, he definitely can offer five-category upside for fantasy managers at the catching position.

After getting off to a slow start to the 2026 season, Miami Marlins catcher Agustin Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville in early May. The 24-year-old has performed well since being sent down, hitting .255/.324/.426 with four home runs, 12 RBI, 16 runs scored, and nine stolen bases. Ramirez's speed is rare relative to his position and gives him significant fantasy upside. The young backstop also showed he can produce at the big-league level in 2025, hitting .231 with 21 home runs and 16 stolen bases across 585 plate appearances. The biggest issue in Ramirez's profile is his porous defense, which was likely the reason why he was sent down earlier this year. Still, Ramirez carries enough offensive upside that Miami seems likely to find a place for him in the lineup sooner rather than later. Fantasy managers in need of help behind the plate should consider stashing Ramirez off the waiver wire.
