Marlins promote prospect Joe Mack in catching shakeup

The Miami Marlins called up top catching prospect Joe Mack on Monday and optioned fellow backstop Agustin Ramirez to Triple-A Jacksonville.

Mack hit .244 with three home runs and nine RBIs in 24 games at Triple-A, while Ramirez, 24, was batting .230 with two homers and 14 RBIs in 31 games this season with the Marlins.

Mack, 23, was a first-round draft pick by the Marlins in 2021. He is ranked as Miami's No. 4 overall prospect by MLB Pipeline.

Mack could make his major league debut Monday night when Miami wraps up a four-game home series with the Philadelphia Phillies.
