Alexei Ramirez went 3-for-4 with a double, homer, three RBI and two runs scored as the White Sox beat the Twins 5-2 on Sunday. Ramirez has hit safely in 13 of his last 14 games, spiking his batting average from .275 to .289. Despite beginning August 1-for-11 in his first three games, Ramirez is batting .338 with three homers and 13 RBI over 77 at-bats this month.

Alexei Ramirez went 1-for-5 with a solo homer as the White Sox dropped the nightcap of Friday's doubleheader against the Twins. Ramirez batted third for the first time in his career earlier in the day, and responded by hitting just his second home run of the season. So logically, White Sox manager Robin Ventura left him in that slot for the second game, and Ramirez knocked another one over the boards. If he remains in this slot with the departure of Alex Rios, it could be a serious boon to his fantasy value.

Batting third for the first time in his career, Alexei Ramirez had a two-run homer and a two-run single in the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Twins. Well, now it's obvious Ramirez should have been batting third all along; he'd have 20 homers now instead of two. Ramirez entered the game with just 29 RBI all season. He's been hitting for average and stealing bases, but the lack of power and poor play of the hitters around him has really held him back as a fantasy shortstop. Maybe it will help if he continues to bat third with Alex Rios gone.

Alexei Ramirez finished with four hits and two RBI against the Yankees on Monday. Ramirez remains stuck on one homer for the season, but he's been consistently hitting singles and doubles since Opening Day. Unfortunately, because the rest of the lineup has been so weak, all it's gotten him is 45 runs scored and 29 RBI in 110 games.

Alexei Ramirez was diagnosed with right leg cramps. It's a dose of good news for the White Sox, who could be looking to move Ramirez at this year's July 31 trade deadline. The shortstop is considered day-to-day. He left Thursday's game in the top of the sixth inning and was replaced in the lineup by Brent Morel.

Alexei Ramirez left Thursday's game against the Tigers with an apparent right hamstring injury. Ramirez first grabbed at his right leg after a fifth-inning groundout and then had to leave the game following a bloop single in the sixth. It looked like it might have been a hamstring strain, which would likely mean a stint on the disabled list. Brent Morel replaced him.

Alexei Ramirez was one of the few bright spots in Saturday's shut out loss at the hand of the Rays, going 2-for-3 plus a walk. Ramirez is now hitting .279/.308/.345 on the season, but his power production has been woefully short with just one homer and 17 RBI. At least his 19 stolen bases have been a nice consolation prize from a fantasy perspective.

Alexei Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a stolen base as the White Sox lost to the Mets on Wednesday. The two hits and successful stolen base, his 18th of the year, were the good. The caught stealing later in the game and his 13th error of the season were the bad. The shortstop is now hitting .280 with still only one home run in 75 games.

Alexei Ramirez hit a walkoff RBI single Tuesday as the White Sox defeated the Mets by a score of 5-4. Chicago nearly blew the game in the top of the ninth inning but rallied to save that embarrassment in the bottom half of the frame. Jeff Keppinger singled, Gordon Beckham reached on an error and then Ramirez played the role of hero, driving Keppinger home. Ramirez is batting .277/.305/.342 in 74 games played this season.
