Ramos allowed one run on a hit and a walk while striking out one in the ninth inning Wednesday to take the loss against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

It's the first run he's allowed this year, and Ramos' 5:2 K:BB through four innings remains strong, so Wednesday's stumble is no cause for panic. The 30-year-old should have a very long leash as the Marlins' closer after racking up 72 saves over the last two seasons.

Ramos struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Tuesday to close out an 8-4 win over the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

The Marlins have struggled to create save situations for Ramos to protect through the early going, but the 30-year-old closer has converted the only chance he's had while posting a 0.00 ERA and 4:1 K:BB in three innings. His spot at the head of the Miami bullpen seems very secure.

Ramos got his first save of the season in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Nationals, striking out one batter in a scoreless 10th inning.

EDGE Analysis

The Marlins scored a run in the top of the 10th inning to set up Ramos with his first save opportunity of the year, facing the meaty part of Washington's solid lineup. He gave up a one-out walk to Bryce Harper followed by a Daniel Murphy single, but then elicited pop outs from Ryan Zimmerman and Anthony Rendon to finish the game. Ramos needed 21 pitches after throwing 20 the previous night, so while he should be available Friday if needed, the Marlins probably prefer not to use him unless they have a save situation. He should have a reasonable leash if he struggles early in the season, coming off a 2016 campaign in which he converted 40 of his 43 save opportunities.

Ramos gave up a hit and struck out one in a shutout inning of relief during Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

The Marlins' closer hasn't had a particularly clean spring, showing a 9.00 ERA and 1.75 WHIP through four innings, but the damage came early in camp. Assuming Ramos puts together a few more good outings over the next 10 days heading into Opening Day, there's no reason to be concerned about any early March struggles.

Ramos (leg) gave up two home runs in his Grapefruit League debut Tuesday, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ramos had been hindered with a sore leg through the early days of spring training. Now that he's back on the mound, Ramos will look to improve off his disappointing initial outing for the remainder of Miami's spring games.

Ramos is working through some soreness in his right leg, although he is still able to pitch, The Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was scheduled to throw a live batting practice session Monday, and at this point the soreness doesn't seem like something that will be an issue for Ramos come Opening Day, or jeopardize his spot as the Marlins' closer.

Ramos and the Marlins avoided arbitration on Friday with a $6.55 million deal, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Marlins were aggressive bidders for Aroldis Chapman and Kenley Jansen, but ultimately lost out, leaving them with Ramos as their closer, which isn't the worst consolation prize. The 2016 All-Star notched 40 saves and a 2.81 ERA with 73 strikeouts in 64 innings, establishing him as one of the better closers in baseball. That got him a pay raise in excess of $3 million during his second round of arbitration.

Ramos notched his 40th save in Friday's 7-4 victory over the Nationals, giving only a walk and striking out the side in the ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old closer has given up only an earned run over 13.2 innings in September, while also notching 14 whiffs over that span. After tallying the first 32 saves of his career in 2015, Ramos has blown by that number this season, while also reducing the amount of homers he's surrendered from six to one.

Ramos pitched a perfect ninth inning, striking out two batters, in a victory over the Braves on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

He took the loss Friday, as he allowed an unearned run, but he bounced back with another save. Ramos has a career-high 39 saves with a 2.90 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 70 strikeouts in 62 innings this season.

Ramos gave up a lone hit in the ninth inning against the Nationals on Monday, earning his 38th save of the year.

EDGE Analysis

Ramos now has six saves in six tries in the last two weeks since regaining the closer role from Fernando Rodney. Ramos's 3.00 ERA is solid, and his relatively high 1.38 WHIP is offset by the fact that Ramos has allowed just one home run in 60 innings this season season by keeping the ball on the ground with a 0.80 GB/FB ratio.
