Heliot Ramos Lands on IL, Will Miss Several Weeks
San Francisco Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos (quad strain) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. According to Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports, Tony Vitello told the media that Ramos will miss "at least two weeks and likely more than that" as he recovers. This would seem to suggest that he'll be sidelined for more than the 10-day minimum required by his IL placement. Ramos' absence will be felt, as he had posted a solid .267/.307/.424 slash line with four home runs through his first 44 games this year. When he returns to action, Ramos could look to improve his discipline, as his 5.7% walk rate and 26.7% strikeout rate are not ideal for someone without significant power. In the meantime, Vitello said that versatile infielder Casey Schmitt will handle some reps in left field.
