But he drove in three runs in a 8-3 win over the Blue Jays. Ramos has been the Phillies' hottest hitter since he joined the team Aug. 15. And that is what makes his health a predicament. Sunday was just his sixth game. The Phillies want to ride Ramos as much as they can during the season's final five weeks. They also must monitor his health to avoid burning him out.
"We'd love to ride him. We'd like to play him four times, five times a week if possible. A lot of that depends on how well he's recovering so we don't get overzealous and put him at risk in any way," manager Gabe Kapler said.
