Swipes bag No. 25
Ruiz went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Phillies.
Analyse
The steal was the 25th of the season for Ruiz in only 141 plate appearances, the first time he's reached that mark in the majors since he pilfered 67 as a rookie for the A's in 2023. Ruiz hasn't been able to seize a full-time role with the Marlins, but over 11 games and 24 PAs since the All-Star break he's hitting .318 (7-for-22) with a double, a solo homer, five steals and five runs while bouncing between center field and right field. Owen Caissie (calf) is close to coming off the IL to cloud the picture in right field even further, but more playing time could open up for Ruiz after the trade deadline if Miami deals away outfield competitors like Heriberto Hernandez.

Back on bench Monday
Ruiz is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.
Analyse
Though Ruiz had been included in the lineup for three of the Marlins' previous four matchups versus right-handed pitching, he'll be on the bench Monday against Phillies righty Zack Wheeler. Jakob Marsee will draw the starting nod in center field but has produced a .406 OPS during the Marlins' ongoing 12-game losing streak and could see his playing time take a hit if manager Clayton McCullough wants to open up more opportunities for Ruiz, who has submitted an .854 OPS over the same stretch of action.
