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: Not in lineup
Rotowire
Ramos will sit Saturday against the White Sox.
Ramos had his contract selected in late April and started eight consecutive games, but he's since been on the bench for two of the last three. In his last three games, he's gone 0-for-11 with seven strikeouts. Wil Myers returns from the COVID-19 injured list to start in right field, while Tyler Stephenson rests his legs as the designated hitter.

Reds' Henry Ramos: Hits bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Ramos is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.
For the first time since he was promoted from Triple-A Louisville on April 24, Ramos will exit the Cincinnati lineup. While starting at either right field or designated hitter in each of the past eight games, Ramos slashed .310/.412/.379 with a 14.7 percent walk rate. Until his production at the plate dramatically tapers off, Ramos should find himself in the starting nine more often than not.

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.

Reds' Henry Ramos: Reassigned to minor-league camp
Rotowire
Ramos was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Reds on Monday.
This comes as a surprise as Ramos appeared to have earned a spot on the Opening Day roster after hitting .442 with two homers and a 1.228 OPS over 29 plate appearances. The outfielder will now likely head to Triple-A Louisville, and Cincinnati will need to add him to the 40-man roster in order to call him up to the major-league club.

Reds' Henry Ramos: Could win roster spot
Rotowire
Ramos, who played in the KBO last season, could win a roster spot on the Reds' Opening Day roster, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
Nick Senzel's slow progress in returning from the significant toe injury that ended his 2022 season essentially opens up a spot on the initial 26-man roster, most likely in the outfield if Wil Myers moves over to first base. Ramos been swinging a hot bat this spring, going 8-for-14 with three doubles and a 2:1 BB:K, and the Reds have had a tendency to let spring training performance guide how they fill out the back end of their roster in recent years, with varying results.

Reds' Henry Ramos: Signs MiLB deal with Reds
Rotowire
Ramos signed a minor-league deal with the Reds on Monday and received an invite to spring training, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
After slashing .250/.304/.417 with the KT Wiz in Korea last season, Ramos will return to the States and attempt to make the Reds' big-league roster. Ramos spent a brief period of time in the majors in 2021 with Arizona, recording a .555 OPS over 55 plate appearances. However, that number jumped up to 1.021 in Triple-A Reno.

Henry Ramos: Heads to Korea
Rotowire
Ramos signed with the KT Wiz of the KBO on Tuesday, Ji Heon Bae of Naver reports.
Ramos made his MLB debut at age 29 this season but didn't make much of an impression, hitting .200/.255/.300 in 18 games. The Wiz were presumably drawn to his excellent .371/.439/.582 slash line in 75 games for Triple-A Reno. Given Ramos' age, he isn't particularly likely to establish himself overseas and return as an MLB regular.

Diamondbacks' Henry Ramos: Replaces injured Beer
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.
