Bryan Ramos returned to the White Sox as a September call-up after spending most of the season at Triple-A Charlotte. He struggled during a 32-game big-league debut last year, hitting .202/.252/.333, and missed part of spring training with an elbow injury that limited him to designated hitter duties. Ramos displayed more power in Charlotte with 14 homers despite a lower average. He started a 12-3 win over the Twins batting ninth and playing third, delivering a tying two-run double. Playing time will be contested by prospects and recent acquisitions, and daily lineups will change.
MINNEAPOLIS - It was a bit of déjà vu for White Sox infielder Bryan Ramos, whom the team recalled Monday from Triple-A Charlotte to fill one of the two extra roster spots available in September. Ramos made his big-league debut at this time last season and struggled, batting .202/.252/.333 in 32 games. Because of an elbow injury in spring training, Ramos only served as the designated hitter. He stayed behind in Arizona for an extra two weeks, derailing the start of his season.
Although no single game will make or break Ramos, it's essential that he produces when he gets his chance because playing time might be scarce with the plethora of young infielders the Sox have. He helped his cause with a tying two-run double in the fifth inning. Ramos watched as second baseman Chase Meidroth and shortstop Colson Montgomery ascended the organizational ladder. The Sox also acquired infielder Curtis Mead from the Rays in the Adrian Houser trade at the deadline.
