| May 3 2024 | Ruiz had his contract selected from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ruiz will join the Phillies 26-man roster in place of Yunior Marte (shoulder) who was put on the 15-day injured list. Ruiz has been excellent at the Triple-A level, boasting a 1.64 ERA and a 0.91 WHIP with a 13:3 K:BB across 11 innings. He should slot into a middle-relief role. |
|
| Jul 25 2023 | The Diamondbacks designated Ruiz for assignment on Tuesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After giving up three runs over 1.2 innings while serving as Arizona's opener Sunday, Ruiz will be cast off the 40-man roster to clear room for Merrill Kelly (calf) to return from the injured list.

|
| Jul 24 2023 | Ruiz did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on five hits over 1.2 innings against the Reds. He struck out one. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ruiz was roughed up by the Reds in his 1.2 innings of work, allowing five total hits including a solo homer to Elly De La Cruz in the first and a two-run shot to Nick Senzel in the second. The outing continued a rough stretch for Ruiz, who's allowed six total runs across his last four appearances (five innings). Through 38 outings (44.1 innings) split between the White Sox and Diamondbacks, Ruiz owns a 5.89 ERA and a 39:21 K:BB. |
|
| Jul 22 2023 | Ruiz will serve as the Diamondbacks' opener Sunday at Cincinnati, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It'll be a bullpen game for Arizona, with Ruiz likely only handling the opening frame.

|
| May 12 2023 | Ruiz allowed four runs (three earned) on three hits and one walk over one inning in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Giants. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ruiz has pitched well for the Diamondbacks since being acquired from the White Sox in early April, posting a 3.00 ERA and a 13:1 K:BB over 12 innings before things went sideways Thursday. Most of his appearances have come in low-leverage situations, but that pattern could change. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo talked to Theo Mackie of the Arizona Republic about the team's recent bullpen struggles, suggesting some of the "negative role" guys, like Ruiz or Kyle Nelson, could be used in a "positive role." Recent blown leads could be attributed to over-work of Lovullo's most trusted arms, namely Miguel Castro, Andrew Chafin and Scott McGough -- all of whom had appeared in 17 of the team's 37 games entering Thursday. That's unlikely to mean Ruiz will be getting save chances, but he could pitch in higher-leverage spots. |

He allowed a leadoff double but then rebounded to retire the next two batters he faced. Even so, Ruiz was pulled after only seven pitches and Bennett Sousa instead recorded a one-out save. Positively, Ruiz did record his seventh hold of the season, and he has maintained a 2.61 ERA with a 1.35 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB across 10.1 innings. |
|

| Jun 19 2021 | Ruiz exited Saturday's game against the Astros with right knee discomfort and will continue to be evaluated.

|
| Mar 6 2018 | Ruiz was optioned to High-A Winston-Salem on Tuesday. | Ruiz was claimed off waivers by the White Sox back in December, but he didn't stand a realistic chance of cracking the Opening Day roster given he only pitched one inning above High-A in his career.
