New York Yankees Heliot Ramos’ Yankees start hasn’t been easy — one thing is keeping him going By Dan Martin Published Aug. 20, 2026, 7:42 p.m. ET New York Yankees left fielder Heliot Ramos (34) strikes out swinging with two-runners on ending the 6th inning when the New York Yankees play the Atlanta Braves Sunday August 9, 2026 at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, NY. Jason Szenes for the New York Post BALTIMORE — Heliot Ramos was aware of the expectations he faced when he was traded to the Yankees prior to the Aug. 3 deadline from the only organization he’d ever known after being drafted by the Giants in 2017.
“I wanted to produce, and I wanted to be hot as soon as I got here,’’ Ramos said prior to hitting third in the lineup against the Orioles on Thursday at Camden Yards. “I’ve been trying my best.”
