Phils not ready to increase Ramos' workload

TORONTO -- The Phillies made three trades to boost their offense in the past month. Two of those players have health issues. The other has struggled offensively.

Phillies catcher Wilson Ramos might be the team's best hitter at the moment, but he has started just five of the Phillies' 11 games since being activated from the 10-day disabled list Aug. 15. Ramos, who did not start Saturday against the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre, has hamstring issues and is recovering from a sore left wrist. He is expected to start Sunday afternoon's series finale.
