Rotowire
San Francisco optioned Ramos to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.

Giants' Heliot Ramos: Starts, but losing work to Meckler
Rotowire
Ramos will start in left field and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Rays, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Ramos is back in the lineup for the series finale, but he sat in both of the Giants' previous two matchups with right-handed pitchers and may have moved into more of a part-time role in the wake of Wade Meckler's call-up to the big leagues. As a left-handed hitter, Meckler could occupy the large side of a platoon in center field with the righty-hitting Ramos, though the Giants will have room for both players in the outfield Wednesday while Blake Sabol shifts from left field to catcher in place of a resting Patrick Bailey. Ramos is hitting .250 with one home run and a 31.6 percent strikeout rate through his 38 big-league plate appearances this season.

San Francisco recalled Ramos from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Ramos has struggled in limited action at the major-league level, but the 23-year-old former top prospect boasts a .307/.365/.575 batting line with 10 homers and eight steals in 50 games this season between Low-A and Triple-A. He could get some starts in the Giants' outfield while AJ Pollock (oblique) is on the shelf.
Ramos (oblique) was activated Tuesday from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Sacramento.
Ramos is recovered from the right oblique strain that has kept him on the shelf since mid-May, but the Giants want him to continue working on his craft in the minors.
