Ramos was promoted to Double-A Richmond on Thursday, freelance writer Marc Delucchi reports.
EDGE Analysis
The promotion was well deserved for Ramos, who turns 20 in September. He was the third-youngest and third-best hitter in the California League. Richmond is an extremely pitcher-friendly ballpark, so it will be very challenging for Ramos to carry over his success from the Cal League, without even considering he will be one of two 19-year-old hitters in the Eastern League. He will get his feet wet against Double-A pitching before likely returning to Richmond for the start of the 2020 season.

Ramos (hand) returned to action Wednesday for High-A San Jose and went 0-for-4 with one strikeout.
EDGE Analysis
Ramos missed a day with a bruised hand. He is now hitting .306/.385/.500 with 13 home runs and six steals (on 13 attempts) in 77 games. Ramos has gotten a bit thicker since he was drafted in 2017, so the dream of him being a major asset in the stolen-base department is probably a thing of the past, but he still has significant upside at the plate. He is the third-youngest qualified hitter in the California League and has been the third-best hitter (145 wRC+) on the circuit.

X-rays on Ramos' hand were negative and he is day-to-day at High-A San Jose, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
He was struck in the left hand by a pitch in Monday's game, but fortunately it seems like he escaped with just a bruise. Ramos is the third-youngest qualified hitter in the California League, and he is the youngest non-Padres hitter in the league. Despite his youth, he has been the second-best hitter (147 wRC+) on the circuit and has upped his walk rate (6.5 BB% to 9.6 BB%) while also getting to more of his plus raw power (.151 ISO to .197 ISO) compared to what he did last year at Low-A.

EDGE Analysis
Since returning from a left knee injury May 27, Ramos has gone 12-for-26 (.462 average) with four extra-base knocks. The toolsy 19-year-old is one of the youngest players in the California League, but he hasn't been fazed by the jump in competition thus far.
