Ramos went 2-for-3 with a steal and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Rangers.
Ramos had two of the five hits the Giants managed on the day and swiped his first bag since April 4. His second hit was an infield single that turned into a little-league homer after two throwing errors allowed him to scoot all the way around the bases to end the game. Ramos now has four multi-hit efforts in his last eight games but has just one RBI to show for it. For the season, he's lifted his average to .246 and his three steals are already half the number of steals he totaled in 121 games in 2024.

Giants' Heliot Ramos: Scores twice in loss
Rotowire
Ramos went 1-for-4 with two runs scored during Thursday's 6-4 loss to Philadelphia.
Ramos lined a two-out double into center field and came around to score in the first frame. In the sixth, he reached first base on an error and scored again. It marked just the second time this season that he's scored twice in a game, with both instances coming in his last two appearances. The 25-year-old outfielder notched at least one hit in all four games of the Giants' series against the Phillies, going 5-for-17 with two doubles. Despite the resurgence, Ramos has cooled off following a hot start to the 2025 campaign and is now slashing .225/.271/.413 with nine RBI, six doubles, three homers and a 4:24 BB:K across 85 plate appearances.

Giants' Heliot Ramos: Gets aboard four times in win
Rotowire
Ramos went 3-for-5 with a walk, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 10-9 extra-innings win over the Mariners.
Ramos has opened the season hot with a seven-game hitting streak. This was his second multi-hit effort, and he's now batting .323 with three homers, three doubles, eight RBI, six runs scored and two stolen bases. The one concern is his 1:12 BB:K -- a lofty strikeout rate could lower his ceiling over time. For now, it's just a small-sample issue, and it's not a particularly big one given the quality of contact when he's not striking out.

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.

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: 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.
