The San Francisco Giants placed left fielder Heliot Ramos on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a right quadriceps strain.
Ramos was injured during Friday night’s 6-2 loss to the Athletics in West Sacramento, Calif. He underwent an MRI exam on Saturday.
“It will be at least a couple weeks and probably more than that,” said Giants manager Tony Vitello. .”.. We’ll see how things go for him. It’s obviously painful for (Ramos) and it stinks.”
Drew Gilbert will play left field and bat seventh in Saturday’s game against the Athletics.
San Francisco recalled outfielder Will Brennan from Triple-A Sacramento and optioned right-hander Tristan Beck to the same affiliate. The Giants also activated left-hander Erik Miller (back) from the IL.
Ramos, 26, was hurt trying to make a sliding catch of Jeff McNeil’s single in the fifth inning. He struck out in the top of the sixth and was removed after the half-inning.
Infielder Casey Schmitt replaced Ramos in left for his first professional appearance as an outfielder. Schmitt also never played the outfield in three college seasons (2018-20) at San Diego State. He was a second-round pick in 2020.
Ramos went 1-for-3 on Friday and boasts a .267 average with four homers and 20 RBIs in 44 games this season. Ramos hit more than 20 homers in each of the past two seasons and was a National League All-Star in 2024.
Brennan, 28, was 0-for-9 in five games for the Giants earlier this season and the 29-year-old Beck pitched three scoreless innings over two outings.
Miller, 28, had a 3.18 ERA in 12 relief appearances before his injury. He last pitched for the Giants on April 30.
