Ramos will be pushed off the 40-man roster to make room for Michael Mariot, who was selected from Triple-A on Saturday. Ramos is slashing an impressive .318/.404/.568 through 152 plate appearances in the minors, so other teams could be interested on the waiver wire.

Reds' Henry Ramos: Begins rehab assignment
Rotowire
Ramos (hip) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.
Ramos has been out for two weeks with a strained right hip. Prior to the injury, he hit a modest .242/.356/.306 in 18 games, so there's no guarantee he earns meaningful at-bats once he returns.

Reds' Henry Ramos: Sidelined with strained hip
Rotowire
Ramos was placed on the injured list with a strained hip Saturday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
The injury may explain why Ramos found himself out of the lineup for the third time in four games, though his 85 wRC+ may sufficiently explain his lack of playing time on its own. His expected return date is unclear, and there's no guarantee he claims a starting role once he returns. Will Benson was recalled in a corresponding move.

Reds' Henry Ramos: Sitting Saturday
Rotowire
Ramos will be on the bench Saturday against the Yankees.
Ramos had been featuring regularly at designated hitter and in the outfield corners but now finds himself sitting for the third time in four games. He's been getting on base well but showing minimal power, slashing .242/.356/.306, so it wouldn't be a surprise if his role continues to slip.

Reds' Henry Ramos: Handling regular role
Rotowire
Ramos will start in right field and bat fifth in Monday's game against the Padres.
Ramos has now picked up starts in each of the Reds' seven games since his April 24 call-up, and the 32-year-old has likely performed well enough to stick in the starting nine even if Wil Myers (illness) is able to return from the injured list later this week. While serving as a designated hitter or manning right field in his first six starts, Ramos has gone 9-for-22 with a triple, four walks, six runs and three RBI.

Reds' Henry Ramos: Gets start following call-up
Rotowire
Ramos will serve as the Reds' designated hitter and No. 7 batter in Monday's game against the Rangers.
The Reds won't waste any time breaking Ramos into the lineup for his first MLB action since 2021 after the 31-year-old switch-hitter had his contract selected from Triple-A Louisville earlier Monday. Cincinnati designated Jason Vosler for assignment in a corresponding move, and Ramos could end up replacing him as a regular in the lineup versus right-handed pitching while the Reds await Joey Votto's (shoulder/biceps) eventual return from the injured list. Ramos was off to a strong start at Louisville, slashing .314/.400/.486 with two home runs and three stolen bases while striking out in just 12.2 percent of his 41 plate appearances.

Rotowire
Ramos entered Tuesday's game after Seth Beer was removed due to a dislocated shoulder. He went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in an 8-4 loss to the Dodgers.
Beer, who is considered day-to-day, opened the game at first base. Following Beer's departure, Pavin Smith moved from right field to first base, and Ramos played right field. The 29-year-old Ramos is getting his first crack in the majors and has appeared in five of the last six games. He could continue to get regular work, pending Beer's status.
