Heliot Ramos Steps Into Starting Lineup in Aaron Judge's Absence

New York Yankees outfielder Heliot Ramos started in right field and batted third in Game 1 of the Wild Card Series against Boston, filling in while Aaron Judge recovers from a calf strain. Acquired at the trade deadline to hit lefties, Ramos posted a .907 OPS against southpaws this season. Though he went hitless in the series opener, Ramos embraced the opportunity to contribute in his first postseason appearance after spending four seasons with San Francisco.
