Ramirez will serve as the Nationals' designated hitter and No. 3 batter in Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Ramirez will draw his second consecutive start at designated hitter and should see an uptick in playing time after Jesse Winker was traded to the Mets on Saturday and Lane Thomas was shipped to the Guardians on Monday. Since signing with Washington in mid-June and getting called up to the big club, Ramirez is slashing .319/.333/.468 with one home run and 13 RBI in 16 games.
