Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a walk, two stolen bases and a strikeout during Thursday's 2-1 win over the Marlins.
Ramirez stole two bases during Thursday's win, his first bags swiped since Aug. 12 against the Nationals. The 22-year-old has recorded at least one base hit in five of his last six games. This year, Ramirez is slashing .261/.319/.406 with six homers, 32 RBI, nine stolen bases and 20 walks over 258 plate appearances.
Ramirez went 2-for-3 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Pirates.
Ramirez scored two runs for the second straight game and also tallied his first multi-hit performance of the month. The rookie infielder is batting just .161 through 31 September at-bats, and it seems like he could be starting to hit a wall in what's been a strong debut overall. Ramirez should continue to see regular time at second base in the short term, but the return of shortstop Dansby Swanson (oblique) from the injured list next week will shift Nico Hoerner back to the keystone, which figures to send Ramirez to the bench most days.

Rotowire
Ramirez (back) will start at second base and bat seventh in Thursday's contest versus the Brewers.
Ramirez didn't see any action in the first three games of the series as he battled back spasms, but he's in there for the finale.

Cubs' Pedro Ramirez: Dealing with back spasms
Rotowire
Ramirez isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers due to back spasms, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Ramirez is hitting .333 with two runs, nine RBI and eight runs scored over his last seven games, but he'll be held out Monday with the back issue. It remains to be seen whether he'll be back in the starting nine for Tuesday's matchup.
Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 10-8 loss to the Reds.
Ramirez made his lone hit count as he blasted his fourth home run of the season, a three-run shot in the eighth inning. The 22-year-old has had a fine rookie campaign, as he's now slashing .285/.343/.442 across 59 games. Ramirez has emerged as Chicago's top option at second base, as Nico Hoerner has shifted over to cover shortstop recently with Dansby Swanson (oblique) on the injured list. For however long his playing time remains elevated, Ramirez looks like he'll be a viable fantasy option.
Cubs' Pedro Ramirez: Homers, drives in five Sunday
Rotowire
Ramirez went 3-for-6 with a home run, two additional runs scored and five total RBI in Sunday's 19-2 win over the Mariners.
Ramirez had a huge afternoon as he helped lead the Cubs to the blowout victory. The rookie infielder set a new career best with the five RBI, and he's looked comfortable overall in the majors with a .285 batting average and .767 OPS through 55 games. With Dansby Swanson (oblique) on the injured list, the Cubs have been using Nico Hoerner at shortstop, which has opened up regular time for Ramirez at second base. The 22-year-old is worth a look for however long his role remains elevated.

Cubs' Pedro Ramirez: Steps in for Swanson in middle infield
Rotowire
Ramirez will start at second base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the White Sox.
Ramirez will claim a fifth straight start and his third in a row at the keystone as the Cubs go for a series sweep of their crosstown rivals. With Dansby Swanson (oblique) landing on the injured list Monday and likely to miss most, if not all, of the remainder of the regular season, Nico Hoerner will serve as the Cubs' everyday shortstop. Second base is open for Ramirez to stake a claim to a regular spot in the lineup, though he could fade back into a utility role once Matt Shaw (hand) returns from the injured list. Ramirez has held his own at the plate during his rookie season, slashing .289/.345/.422 with two home runs, seven stolen bases, 20 runs and 15 RBI over 149 plate appearances.
