Tallies an assist
Ramiro assisted once to go with two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-0 victory versus San Jose Earthquakes.
Analysis: Ramiro was able to get an assist as part of a three-goal game for FC Dallas, and the midfielder should be a factor in the upcoming contest against Columbus Crew. Columbus has allowed 49 goals through 31 MLS games this season, presenting a favorable matchup for Ramiro and Dallas to replicate its scoring efforts.
Suspension served
Ramiro missed Saturday's 1-0 win over LAFC due to suspension and is available again for the Charlotte clash on Oct. 10.
Analysis: Ramiro had been serving a one match ban after reaching five yellow cards in 10 appearances, an absence that snapped his run of availability dating back to August 2. He should find his way back into a starting role in midfield when the club faces Charlotte on Oct. 10.
Set for ban
Ramiro had one tackle (one won), one clearance and one interception in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Austin FC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 97th minute and is set for a one match suspension.
Analysis: Ramiro will sit out his first match since Aug 2 after reaching five yellow cards in 10 appearances. His recent form has been mixed, two assists across eight outings, paired with 13 tackles, 10 interceptions, and just four chances created, a hit‑or‑miss stretch for the midfield.
Assists two including the winner
Ramiro assisted twice to go with zero corners and four chances created in Wednesday's 4-3 victory versus Real Salt Lake.
Analysis: Ramiro provided two assists including an assist for the winning goal for Ran Binyamin. This brings midfidler to three assists for the season. He created four chances in the game, having not produced more than two in any other game this season.
Back in action
Ramiro (lower leg) appeared as a substitute in Wednesday's Leagues Cup win over Queretaro.
Analysis: Ramiro took Christian Cappis' place on the field for the final 10 minutes of Wednesday's matchup. This marks the Brazilian's first official appearance since May 23, and it's an encouraging sign as he attempts to make a gradual comeback to a starting role. Although his value comes mostly from passes and tackling numbers, he's a regular participant when healthy, so his availability immediately makes him a strong contender to Kaick, Cappis and Clay Holstad in central midfield.
Suffers lower body injury
Ramiro won't be an option for Wednesday's contest against Portland Timbers due to a lower body issue, the league announced Tuesday.
Analysis: Ramiro's exact situation remains unclear as no recovery timeline has been released for his return. The Brazilian midfielder is a vital member of the team's usual lineup, so losing him could represent a significant blow to their quality in possession and midfield duels. However, Christian Cappis has already seen action this season and could be used as Kaick's partner in the central zone until Ramiro is ready to play.
Bench option Wednesday
Ramiro (lower leg) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Minnesota United.
Analysis: Ramiro is back with the squad after being unable to play in the previous match against LA Galaxy. The midfielder will be expected to appear off the bench and could return to contention for starts in future fixtures. In that case, both Christian Cappis and Kaick may see their involvement reduced. Ramiro's most relevant contribution so far is his lone assist in seven games played this season.
