The Atlanta Braves have added another outfielder to their lineup after signing veteran Harold Ramirez to a minor league deal ¹. Ramirez, who was recently released by the Washington Nationals, had a successful debut with the Gwinnett Stripers, the Braves’ Triple-A affiliate, with two hits and two RBIs ¹.
Ramirez has played for several teams, including the Tampa Bay Rays, where he spent two and a half years and hit .300/.337/.411 with 19 homers and 139 RBIs across 290 games ². He has also played for the Nationals and the Cleveland Guardians ³.
The Braves have been plagued by injuries this season, and Ramirez’s addition provides some much-needed depth to the outfield ¹. Ramirez will likely need to prove himself at Triple-A before getting called up to the majors, but he has the potential to be a valuable asset to the team ⁴.
In other news, the Braves are coming off a thrilling 3-2 walk-off win over the Nationals, thanks to a home run and game-winning hit from Michael Harris II ¹. The team is looking to build on this momentum and make a push for the playoffs.
Ramirez’s signing is a low-risk, high-reward move for the Braves, who are looking to bolster their lineup and make a deep run in the postseason ³. With his experience and talent, Ramirez could be a valuable addition to the team.
The Braves are currently dealing with several injuries, including Austin Riley’s broken hand, which will keep him out for six to eight weeks ². Ramirez’s addition provides some much-needed depth to the outfield and could help the team stay competitive until their injured players return.
