Wilson Ramos

Wilson Ramos (back) active, starting Monday for Detroit

The Detroit Tigers activated catcher Wilson Ramos from the 10-day injured list for a lumbar spine sprain.

What It Means:

Ramos only required a minimum stay on the IL. He will bat sixth as the Tigers' designated hitter in Monday's series opener against left-hander Yusei Kikuchi and the Seattle Mariners. Jake Rogers will start at catcher and Eric Haase will play left field.

Per numberFire's MLB Heat Map, opposing lineups are averaging just 56.6 FanDuel points per game versus Kikuchi, second-lowest out of the 18 listed starters on Monday.
