Getting the start in right field against the left-handed Ranger Suarez, Ramos extended New York's lead to 5-0 in the fifth inning with a three-run, 416-foot blast, his 10th homer this season and first with the Yankees. Ramos had been struggling mightily in New York prior to Sunday, going just 7-for-59 (.119) with a .461 OPS in his first 20 games following a trade from San Francisco. Ramos figures to remain in the short side of a right-field platoon with Spencer Jones until Aaron Judge (ribs) is able to return.

Ramos had started in each of the Yankees' last eight games, but he'll head to the bench Sunday and looks like he'll be at risk of moving into a short-side platoon role in the outfield after New York reinstated Cody Bellinger (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list. Since being acquired from the Giants on Aug. 3, Ramos has provided a weak .113/.230/.189 slash line with four extra-base hits (all doubles), one stolen base, one run and one RBI in his 16 games in pinstripes.
