Scouting Report
Updated May 20, 2026
Agustín Ramírez, 24-year-old Miami Marlins catcher, was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on May 4, 2026, following an offensive slump in his sophomore campaign. After a strong rookie season in 2025 (21 HRs, 67 RBIs), Ramírez struggled significantly in 2026, posting a .231/.318/.345 slash line with only 2 home runs in 31 games. His Triple-A performance has been similarly disappointing (.206/.270/.235 with 27% strikeout rate). However, he has shown promise as a base-stealing threat with 4 steals in 8 Triple-A games, making him a potential fantasy stash for eventual major league return.
