Giants' Heliot Ramos: Likely to bat leadoff vs. lefties
Rotowire
Ramos went 1-for-3 with a double in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Athletics in Cactus League play, and he is making a case to hit leadoff against lefties during the regular season, Shayna Rubin of the San Fransisco Chronicle reports.
Ramos hit leadoff against southpaw Jeffrey Springs in Tuesday's win, and he crushed lefties in 2024 with a .370/.439/.750 slash line and 10 homers in 123 at-bats. "Look at his numbers last year against lefty pitching and he's inspired to do it, too," manager Bob Melvin said. "We'll see where it goes." The 25-year-old outfielder is hitting .231 in 13 at-bats in Cactus League play, and he has also recorded two stolen bases. Ramos is slated to serve as the club's everyday left fielder in 2025 after a successful 2024 campaign, during which he finished with a .269/.322/.469 slash line, 22 home runs and six steals over 121 outings.

Giants' Heliot Ramos: Should be back Tuesday
Rotowire
Ramos (oblique) said he is scheduled to play in Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Padres, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Ramos was expected to be sidelined for a week after suffering a minor oblique injury last weekend, and returning to action Tuesday would put him right in line with that initial timetable. The 25-year-old is poised to begin the season as San Francisco's primary left fielder after he posted a .791 OPS with 22 homers during his first full MLB campaign last year.
Ramos (oblique) hit off a tee and took soft toss Wednesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
It's a day earlier than he was expected to resume hitting, which would appear to be a good sign. Recovering from a sore oblique, Ramos is hopeful of making his Cactus League debut March 4. The young outfielder is expected to be ready in time for Opening Day, provided he can avoid setbacks.

Ramos (oblique) will throw Monday and likely resume hitting Thursday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
The young outfielder tweaked his oblique while dodging a pitch during a recent live batting practice session. If that all goes well this week, Ramos should be ready for his Cactus League debut March 4. He has plenty of time to get ready for Opening Day, barring any setbacks.

Giants' Heliot Ramos: Nursing oblique injury
Rotowire
Ramos was diagnosed with a slight oblique strain Sunday and is expected to be unavailable for about a week, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
It doesn't appear to be a serious issue, but any oblique problems are worth keeping an eye on given how problematic the injury can often be. Ramos is locked in as the starting left fielder after breaking out with 22 homers and a .791 OPS in 2024, so there's no reason for the Giants to rush him back for reps early in spring training.

Giants' Heliot Ramos: Pops homer in live BP
Rotowire
Ramos (hamstring/foot) took part in live batting practice against right-hander Justin Verlander during Wednesday's full-squad workout, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Ramos provided one of the highlights of the day during his round of BP, hitting a long home run that struck the scoreboard at Scottsdale Stadium. Though he impressed in his first full big-league campaign in 2024 with a .269/.322/.469 slash line to go with 22 home runs and six steals over 121 games, Ramos disclosed after the season that he had been dealing with a tight hamstring and plantar fasciitis down the stretch. Neither issue presented any reported complications during his offseason training program, and Ramos doesn't appear to be facing any restrictions during spring training. He's poised to handle an everyday role for the Giants in 2025 and will likely slot somewhere in the middle of the lineup against both right- and left-handed pitchers.
Ramos, who is not in Sunday's lineup against the Cardinals, has a tight hamstring and has been playing through plantar fasciitis, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Manager Bob Melvin said that Ramos could hit Sunday or start at designated hitter, but with nothing to play for, he'll likely get the finale off. Ramos had a breakout age-24 season, slashing .269/.322/.469 with 22 home runs and six steals in 518 plate appearances.
Ramos went 4-for-5 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Giants.
Ramos belted his 22nd home run of the season in the fourth inning to extend the Giants' lead to 8-0, though it was just his second home run since Aug. 27. Tuesday's game was the first of his career with four hits and his seventh this season with at least three hits. Ramos is now slashing .270/.323/.473 with 71 RBI, 53 runs, six steals and a 36:132 BB:K in 505 plate appearances. He also currently leads the team with a .796 OPS, just ahead of Matt Chapman (.793).
Ramos went 3-for-4 with a triple, a double, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's 2-1 victory over the Royals.
The 25-year-old outfielder opened the game's scoring with a RBI infield single in the first inning. Ramos later cracked a triple in the fourth and hit a double in the sixth, all off starter Michael Wacha, to notch his sixth three-hit performance this season. The All-Star is slashing .270/.325/.475 with 70 RBI and 50 runs scored in 486 plate appearances across 114 games.
