Heliot Ramos

Ramos finds himself in the leadoff spot against left-hander Nick Lodolo after batting fifth on Opening Day against righty Hunter Greene. The latest lineup card from Giants manager Bob Melvin confirms the widely-held assumption that the 25-year-old would lead off against southpaws. He's a top-50 range outfielder for fantasy purposes at the moment.

The San Francisco Giants were only hanging around in their Opening Day win because of Heliot Ramos' two-run homer.

Heliot Ramos, who became the 19th player to start in left field for the Giants over the past 19 season openers, hit a two-run home run in a victory vs. the Reds.

Ramos struck out in his other three at-bats, but that's OK. The Giants did wind up hitting him fifth today. That was the expectation for most of March, but it seemed like the team might be wavering at the end of the spring; Ramos led off twice in the Giants' final three games. It's possible he'll lead off against lefties and continue to hit in the middle of the order versus righties.

San Francisco Giants left fielder Heliot Ramos started the 2025 MLB season with a bang.
