Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base, and a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Yankees. The homer was his first hit of the ALCS, going 1-for-8 so far and just 4-for-24 (.167) this postseason. The 6x All-Star had a phenomenal regular season, finishing one home run shy of a 40/40 campaign, and if the Guardians are hoping to get back into this series then Ramirez will need to pick up the pace at the plate, starting Thursday in Game 3 back home. The switch-hitter will face Clarke Schmidt to start the game, who Ramirez is 4-for-9 off of in his career, including a double and just one strikeout.
With the Cleveland Guardians final game of the 2024 regular season being rained out on Sunday against the Houston Astros, third baseman Jose Ramirez was robbed of a chance at a 40-40-40 season. Ramirez entered Sunday's game with 39 doubles, 39 homers and 41 stolen bases. In addition to those impressive totals, J-Ram hit .279 with an .872 OPS and 118 RBI while striking out only 82 times in 158 games played. Only one player has had 40 doubles, 40 homers and 40 steals in a single season -- Alfonso Soriano in 2006. If Ramirez had homered on Sunday, he would have been only the seventh player to hit 40 homers and steal 40 bases in a single season, joining Shohei Ohtani, Ronald Acuna Jr., Soriano, Alex Rodriguez, Barry Bonds and Jose Canseco. Ramirez is still the second player ever to have a 39-39-40 season. Ramirez doesn't get the headlines, but he's an elite ballplayer.
Jose Ramirez Hits 38th Home Run, Collects Three RBI
Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez fell a single shy of the cycle in a 3-for-4 night at the plate, collecting a double, a triple, and a home run in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Reds. The home run was his 38th of the season, while the switch-hitter collected three RBI and scored twice in the contest as well. The 6x All-Star has been one of the top fantasy performers this season due to his strong output in every offensive category, accumulating a .279-38-115-113-40 line. The 32-year-old shows no signs of showing down and will surely be responsible for sending many fantasy managers home with a championship this year.
Jose Ramirez Hits Home Run No. 36, Steals 40th Base
Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, a run scored, and a stolen base in Friday's 5-1 win over the Cardinals. It was the 40th steal of the season for the 32-year-old, but with just seven games to go, it looks like he'll fall just shy of a 40/40 season. That's not to say it hasn't been a great year for the 6x All-Star, it has, as he's amassed a .274-36-109-108-40 line, making him one of the most coveted multi-category-producing fantasy assets in 2024.
Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez went 1-for-4 in Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader loss to the Diamondbacks with a score of 5-3. Ramirez's lone hit was his 30th home run of the season, a solo shot off of starter Eduardo Rodriguez in the sixth inning that brought the Guardians to within one, but they ultimately would not be able to complete the comeback. The 31-year-old has been on base via hit or walk in 18 consecutive games now and has six home runs in his last nine games. For the season, the switch-hitter owns a .282-30-96-85-25 line, making him one of the most valuable multi-category producers in fantasy.
Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez showed why he's one of the elite fantasy producers when he went 3-for-4 with two runs scored, two steals, and an RBI in Monday's 7-6 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Ramirez is hitting .282/.334/.545 and is fourth with 94 RBI. He is tied for fifth with 29 homers and 11th with 24 stolen bases. He has recorded four straight seasons of at least 20 homers and 20 steals, and is on pace to record his second 30-homer, 30-steal season, his first coming in 2018. There's nothing to say other than Ramirez continues to make his fantasy managers happy.
Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez continued his hot stretch at the plate on Thursday, going 2-for-3 with a homer and a double in a 10-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles. He added a double, two runs, and three RBI. Ramirez has busted out of a mini-slump in July with four homers and eight RBI in his past three games, bringing his season totals to 28 dingers and 90 RBI. That along with a solid .278 AVG, 79 runs, and 20 swipes makes him one of the best five-category contributors in the game and an easy top-five hitter for fantasy.
Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez continued his stellar offensive season in Monday's 8-4 win over the Tigers. Ramirez went 3-for-4 with a double, a pair of solo home runs, and three RBI. The 31-year-old demolished a third-inning Bryan Sammons changeup 451 feet into the left-center seats and later golfed a seventh-inning Sammons curveball into the left-center seats. Ramirez has once again been a five-category fantasy contributor, slashing .276/.330/.527 with 26 HR, 76 runs scored, 85 RBI, and 20 stolen bases in 446 plate appearances. He has been a top fantasy pick for most of his career, and that has been boosted even more this season with the Guardians' strong overall play.
Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez continued his solid offensive season in Monday's 3-2 win over the Orioles. Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a single, a solo home run, two RBI, a strikeout, and a stolen base. Ramirez crushed a sixth-inning Cade Povich offering into the center-field bullpens for his 20th HR of the season. The 31-year-old hasn't missed a beat and has continued to produce like a top overall fantasy pick, slashing .276/.333/.536 with 59 runs scored, 69 RBI, and 15 stolen bases in 321 plate appearances. He should continue to be a five-category fantasy stud with the Guardians hitting surprisingly well as a team.

The 31-year-old is now up to 10 steals and is showing no signs of slowing down. He's currently on pace for 30 home runs and 20 steals which should keep him in elite territory in terms of fantasy baseball.
