Ramirez will start for the Angels against the Tigers on Thursday, Vito Chirco of the Detroit Free Press reports.
The right-hander has enjoyed a quasi-breakout stretch (3.74 ERA, 8.8 K/9, 2.9 BB/9 in 33.2 innings) to start 2017. Ramirez has leaned heavily on his two-seamer and installed a curveball this year, which have helped him produce an enticing increase in swinging-strike rate (an excellent 10.3 percent, per Fangraphs). A tough matchup with the Tigers will test just how far he's come, though he remains worth a start in deep fantasy leagues.
