Heliot Ramos Grabbing Pine on Wednesday
Heliot Ramos will take the day off on Wednesday in the tilt versus the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field. Luis Matos will draw into the lineup in left field and will hit sixth against Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly. It's a good time for a breather for Ramos, who has gone 2-for-24 with eight strikeouts in his last six games played. The former first-rounder out of Puerto Rico is hitting a respectable .272 (88-for-323) on the year as an everyday player for the Giants and has added 13 homers, 44 RBI and five steals after being a first-time All-Star in 2024. Under the hood, though, he's sporting an xBA of .255 and xwOBA of .344. He's in the 55th percentile in hard-hit rate and 70th percentile in average exit velocity. Matos has a homer and two RBI while hitting .222 in nine career at-bats against Kelly.
