Fantasy Analysis
Ramirez had a hard time swinging the bat in recent days after taking a pitch off his wrist Friday, but he sure didn't have that issue Tuesday. That's a good sign for Fantasy owners who want to start Ramirez. He has just three hits in his last 16 plate appearances, but has four RBI in that span and should get hot soon. (Updated 05/06/2008).
