Aramis Ramirez had a walk-off RBI single in a 5-4 win over the Phillies on Friday.

Jeremy Horst was able to get Norichika Aoki to ground out to begin the ninth inning, but Jean Segura reached on an infield single and was moved over to third on a single to center field by Ryan Braun. Ramirez then ripped a single into left field to end it. The veteran third baseman hasn't homered since May 22, but he still owns a fine .302/.383/.481 batting line on the year.

Aramis Ramirez (knee) is not in the Brewers' lineup Sunday.

He's now sat out two of the last four games. Ramirez has five hits -- including two three-run homers -- in the two games he has played during the stretch, but his left knee remains a problem and manager Ron Roenicke anticipates it being one for a while longer. At this point, it doesn't appear that a trip to the DL is in the plans, but A-Ram will continue to see regular days of rest.

Aramis Ramirez connected for a pair of three-run homers in Friday's loss to the Cardinals.

Ramirez did his best to keep the Brewers in the ballgame, but it ultimately wasn't enough to keep up with the Cardinals' offensive attack. The 34-year-old has already served a lengthy stint on the DL this season due to a knee injury, but if healthy he should be one of the most valuable fantasy third baseman once again.

Aramis Ramirez will receive a planned day off when the Brewers wrap up their series with the Reds on Sunday.

Ramirez went 2-for-3 with a double and a pair of RBI on Saturday, and is hitting .421 (8-for-19) with a homer and four RBI through six games since returning from the DL. Traditionally a much better hitter as the season wears on, Ramirez should be one of the top performing third sackers for the remainder of the season.
