Ramirez (10-10) allowed six runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out just two batters through seven innings during Monday's loss to Baltimore.
Ramirez held the Orioles to just two runs through six frames before allowing a grand slam to Manny Machado in the seventh inning. Considering that Monday's final result wasn't necessarily reflective of his mound work and also interrupted a standout three-game stretch (three earned runs through 20.2 innings), overreacting to this showing is probably ill-advised. His strikeout upside is capped (6.7 K/9), but with a 4.21 ERA and 1.32 WHIP for the campaign, he's still a serviceable fantasy asset, particularly in deeper settings. A date against the Mariners at Safeco Field is up next for Ramirez.
