Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer in a 6-1 victory over the Royals on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Ramirez's dinger opened the scoring for the White Sox and traveled an impressive 410 feet to left-center field. The veteran has been virtually unstoppable at the plate so far in September, hitting a blistering .533 (8-for-15) with a homer and six RBI during the young month. He has hit safely in all four September games and boasts three consecutive multi-hit performances in that span. Ramirez also extended his career success against Danny Duffy, against whom he has now hit .333 over 21 at-bats.

Ramirez went 4-for-5 with two RBI and three runs in Friday's win over the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Ramirez has managed to make good contact and avoid strikeouts all season, he hasn't been so lucky in hitting it where the defense isn't. That luck has changed over the past 15 games, as he's hitting .363 during that span. Ramirez is still on pace for career lows in batting average and on-base percentage, but he's has been a solid contact hitter throughout his career. He's worth putting in your lineup provided his luck doesn't run out.

Ramirez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old turned in three straight multi-hit games to close August but went 0-for-3 in Tuesday's opener and is just 2-for-16 in his career against lefty Tommy Milone, Wednesday's starter for Minnesota. Ramirez will be replaced at shortstop by Tyler Saladino, who will also lead off for Chicago.

Ramirez (foot) is in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports. X-rays came back negative, and Ramirez was only out of the lineup for one day. He may have a bit of lingering soreness but should be back to full strength by the time the All-Star break ends.

Ramirez (foot) said he wants to try to play Friday, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports. Ramirez, who was held out of the lineup Thursday after fouling a ball off his foot Wednesday, underwent precautionary X-rays and the results returned negative. With no structural damage, it's certainly possible Ramirez could play Friday, though the Sox will wait to see how he feels Friday morning before making a final call.

Ramirez is out of the lineup Thursday after fouling a ball off his left foot Wednesday, ESPN Chicago's Doug Padilla reports. Gordon Beckham will get a rare start at shortstop Thursday and Ramirez should be considered day-to-day heading into this weekend's series against the Cubs.

Ramirez is not in the lineup Thursday against the Tigers, Dan Hayes of CSN Chicago reports. Ramirez has been held out just twice all season, but will give way to Gordon Beckham at shortstop for the Thursday afternoon contest against Alfredo Simon and the Tigers. In his last 10 games, Ramirez is just 5-for-39 (.128) at the dish, so a day off to clear his head was likely overdue.

Ramirez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros. Ramirez will head to the bench for the first time since May 28, with Gordon Beckham set to make his fourth career start at shortstop (second this season). After launching 15 home runs and slugging .408 in 2014, Ramirez has just two homers and is slugging .318 through 57 games this year.

Ramirez went 0-for-4 with a run scored and two steals against the Astros on Sunday. He reached base twice on a fielder's choice and fielding error, and he made the most of his time on base, taking advantage of Jason Castro's flimsy arm. Ramirez started May strong, but he finished the month with just a .237 monthly average, and he has not gone deep since May 9.
