The Miami Marlins have called up catcher Agustín Ramírez from Triple-A Jacksonville, the team announced Monday afternoon.

Ramírez will make his MLB debut Monday, starting behind the plate and batting sixth in the Marlins' lineup against the Cincinnati Reds. He is currently ranked as the No. 4 prospect in Miami's farm system, per MLB Pipeline.

The 23-year-old, who will wear No. 50, is filling the roster spot left vacant by Rob Brantly. The journeyman hit the 10-day injured list with a right lat strain after going 0-for-2 on Sunday.
