Jun 8 2024Ramirez recorded his first save of the season in Friday's 2-1 win over the Yankees, giving up one unearned run on one hit in the 11th inning. He struck out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The journeyman right-hander is already on his third team of 2024, but with Evan Phillips having thrown 31 pitches the night before and both Daniel Hudson and Blake Treinen having been deployed earlier in Friday's contest, Ramirez got the call in a high-leverage spot and delivered. He allowed the phantom runner to score on a one-out single by Aaron Judge, but Ramirez then struck out Giancarlo Stanton before Anthony Rizzo popped out to end the game. In nine innings for the Dodgers, the 29-year-old Ramirez has a 3.00 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 5:2 K:BB, but he's unlikely to become a regular part of the late-inning mix.
May 20 2024The Dodgers acquired Ramirez from the Mets on Monday for cash considerations, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez continues to bounce around, as he'll join his third organization since April following two stints with the Mets and one with the Orioles. He's out of options, so the reliever must join the Dodgers' active roster. He's allowed 11 runs over 14.1 relief innings in the majors this season.
May 15 2024The Mets designated Ramirez for assignment Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez has now been designated for assignment on three occasions this season, with the Mets making the move two of those times. He had thrown three scoreless innings in his most recent stint with the Mets but will nonetheless go through the waiver process again.
May 6 2024The Mets claimed Ramirez off waivers from the Orioles on Monday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Mets booted Ramirez from their 40-man roster and then traded him to the Orioles last month, but he's now back in the organization to give them a fresh relief arm. Ramirez holds an 8.74 ERA over eight relief appearances this season between the Mets and Orioles.
May 2 2024The Orioles designated Ramirez for assignment Thursday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez is the roster casualty as the Orioles bring back Kyle Bradish (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to start Thursday's contest versus the Yankees. The 28-year-old reliever holds an 8.74 ERA over eight relief appearances this season between the Mets and Orioles.
Apr 11 2024Ramirez was traded by the Mets to the Orioles in exchange for cash considerations Thursday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez earned a spot on the Mets' Opening Day roster, but he allowed seven earned runs across his first 5.1 innings of the season. He was designated for assignment as a result, but he'll now get the chance to earn a low-leverage role in the Orioles' bullpen.
Apr 8 2024Ramirez was designated for assignment by the Mets on Monday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez has been blasted for seven earned runs over 5.1 innings for the Mets this season. Cole Sulser will absorb his spot in the bullpen.
Apr 1 2024Ramirez's suspension was reduced from three games to two games Monday following an appeal, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez was given the suspension for intentionally throwing a pitch at Rhys Hoskins in Saturday's loss to the Brewers. The reliever will begin serving the suspension in Monday's series opener with the Tigers.
Mar 31 2024Ramirez received a three-game suspension Sunday for throwing intentionally at Rhys Hoskins on Saturday, but the right-hander will remain available as he appeals the ban, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The suspension hardly comes as a surprise after Ramirez was ejected Saturday for throwing behind Hoskins, which stemmed from a benches-clearing incident Friday after Hoskins slid late into Jeff McNeil at second base. Ramirez will be available to pitch until the appeals process plays out.
Mar 29 2024Ramirez will begin the season in the Mets' bullpen, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After a strong spring, the 28-year-old claimed the last spot in the bullpen when Sean Reid-Foley (shoulder) was placed on the IL to begin the season. The Mets will be Ramirez's fifth big-league team in five seasons, and his 4.40 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 67:37 K:BB over 75.2 innings since 2022 don't suggest he's a candidate for high-leverage work.
Mar 21 2024Ramirez's impressive spring has him in the running for the final spot in the Mets' Opening Day bullpen, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Picked up from the White Sox in December, Ramirez has posted a 0.00 ERA over eight Grapefruit League innings with an 8:1 K:BB, and his power sinker has caught the attention of scouts. The 28-year-old right-hander's main competition for the last spot in the bullpen appears to be Michael Tonkin, but both pitchers could survive final cuts if Sean Red-Foley (arm) needs an IL stint to begin the season. Phil Bickford and Shintaro Fujinami are also in the mix for those relief jobs, but the latter has minor-league options remaining and the former hasn't been as sharp in camp as either Ramirez or Tonkin.
Dec 18 2023The Mets acquired Ramirez from the White Sox on Monday in exchange for cash considerations. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez was designated for assignment by the White Sox last week and has now found a new home. The 28-year-old holds a 3.99 ERA and 128:69 K:BB across 124 innings over parts of four seasons in the majors. Ramirez does not have options remaining, so he'll need to make the Mets' Opening Day roster or risk going through the waiver process again.
Dec 13 2023Ramirez was designated for assignment by the White Sox on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This move clears out a 40-man roster spot for Erick Fedde, whose two-year, $15 million deal with Chicago is now official. Ramirez, 28, has bounced between four different teams over the last two seasons while registering a 4.40 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 67:37 K:BB across 75.2 innings.
Sep 22 2023Ramirez was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez was claimed off waivers from the Pirates earlier this month and is now up to make his debut in his new organization. He's posted a 3.67 ERA and 31:14 K:BB through 34.1 innings this season.
Sep 5 2023The White Sox claimed Ramirez off waivers from the Pirates on Tuesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez was designated for assignment Friday despite holding a decent 3.67 ERA and 31:14 K:BB through 34.1 innings of relief this season with Pittsburgh. The 28-year-old right-hander could get a look in Chicago's bullpen down the stretch but will head to Triple-A Charlotte for now.
Sep 1 2023The Pirates designated Ramirez for assignment Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Max Kranick (elbow) returning from the 60-day injured list Friday, Ramirez will lose his spot on the 40-man roster. The 28-year-old righty put up a 3.67 ERA and 1.40 WHIP alongside a 31:14 K:BB through 34.1 frames with the Pirates this season, so there is a decent chance he gets claimed off waivers by another team.
Aug 24 2023Pittsburgh optioned Ramirez to Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez tossed 2.1 scoreless innings of relief Wednesday against the Cardinals, but the Pirates will call up a fresh bullpen arm in left-hander Rob Zastryzny ahead of Thursday's series opener versus the Cubs.
Aug 15 2023Pittsburgh recalled Ramirez from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez will return to a multi-inning relief role with the Pirates ahead of Tuesday night's game against the Mets. He carries a 4.25 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 23 appearances this season at the MLB level.
Jul 20 2023Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez has given up two earned runs in three straight outings (six earned runs in 4.2 innings) dating back to July 7. A corresponding move is expected before Friday's game against the Angels.
Jul 5 2023The Pirates recalled Ramirez from Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A on June 20 after allowing five earned runs in 2.1 innings across his last three appearances. Since then, he's thrown four scoreless innings in the minors and has now re-earned a spot in the Pirates' bullpen. Luis Ortiz was optioned to Indianapolis in a corresponding move.
Jun 20 2023Pittsburgh optioned Ramirez to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez allowed three (unearned) runs over 1.1 innings of relief in the Pirates' loss to the Cubs on Monday. Cal Mitchell will fill his spot on the major-league roster.
Aug 26 2022Ramirez was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez was sent down Sunday but will quickly rejoin the Pirates' bullpen after Colin Holderman (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday. Over six relief appearances with the Pirates this year, Ramirez has posted a 6.43 ERA and 1.71 WHIP in seven innings.
Aug 21 2022Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez was recalled by the Pirates Aug. 3 and struggled to a 6.43 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 5:4 K:BB across six appearances with the team since. Cam Vieaux was recalled in the corresponding move.
Aug 3 2022Ramirez was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez was traded from the Guardians to the Pirates in early July, and he'll join Pittsburgh's active roster just under a month later. He's made eight relief appearances between Seattle and Cleveland this year and has posted a 6.97 ERA and 1.65 WHIP in 10.1 innings.
Jul 8 2022Ramirez was acquired by the Pirates from the Guardians on Friday in exchange for cash considerations, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports. The right-hander was subsequently optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 27-year-old was designated for assignment by Cleveland last weekend, and Pittsburgh opted to send some cash to acquire him rather than risk a waiver claim. Ramirez has appeared in eight games between the Guardians and Mariners this year and has a 6.97 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 11:7 K:BB over 10.1 innings.
Jul 3 2022The Guardians designated Ramirez for assignment Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He was removed from the 40-man roster to open up a spot for outfielder Oscar Mercado, whom the Guardians claimed off waivers from the Phillies. Before he was sent down to Triple-A Columbus on June 25, Ramirez made one two-inning appearance out of the Cleveland bullpen and gave up one earned run on three hits and a walk.
Jun 25 2022Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez was called up by Cleveland on Thursday, and he allowed a run on three hits and a walk while striking out one in two innings during Friday's game against the Red Sox. However, he'll head back to the minors after Tanner Tully was called up Saturday.
Jun 23 2022The Guardians recalled Ramirez from Triple-A Columbus on Thursday, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fellow reliever Anthony Castro was sent down to Triple-A in a corresponding move, paving the way for Ramirez to join the big club for the first time since Cleveland acquired him from Seattle on May 16. Over his nine appearances after reporting to Columbus, Ramirez gave up three earned runs on two hits and eight walks while striking out 11.
May 16 2022Ramirez was traded from Seattle to Cleveland on Monday in exchange for cash considerations. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez threw 8.1 innings of relief for the Mariners this season, struggling to a 7.56 ERA, before being optioned in late-April and designated for assignment Friday. He'll join Triple-A Columbus with his new organization.
Apr 25 2022Ramirez (1-0) was credited with the win in an extra-innings victory over the Royals on Sunday, firing a scoreless 12th inning in which he issued two walks and recorded two strikeouts. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: A day after blowing a two-run lead, Ramirez was thrust into a high-leverage scenario and delivered, albeit with some suspense attached. The right-hander issued back-to-back free passes to Michael Taylor and Ryan O'Hearn after recording a strikeout of Bobby Witt to open the inning, but he bounced back with strikeouts of Whit Merrifield and Nicky Lopez to escape the jam. Ramirez has produced scoreless efforts in four of his six appearances while giving up multiple earned runs in the other two, making him a bit of a feast-or-famine fantasy option early in the season.
Apr 24 2022Ramirez was charged with a blown save in Saturday's win over the Royals, giving up three earned runs on two hits and a hit batsman over one-third of an inning while recording one strikeout. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez unraveled Saturday after three straight scoreless efforts, allowing the Royals to get in position to eventually pull ahead after he entered the seventh inning with the benefit of a 6-4 lead. The right-hander plunked Salvador Perez before promptly allowing a two-run home run to Carlos Santana that knotted the game at 6-6. Ramirez would also be charged with another run after his exit, and the poor outing marked his second time yielding multiple runs in his first five appearances.
Apr 16 2022Ramirez fired a clean eighth inning in a win over the Astros on Friday, recording a strikeout. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The hard-throwing right-hander turned in a blink-and-you-missed-it outing, getting through his one frame on six pitches, five which found the strike zone. Ramirez stumbled in his first appearance of the season against the Twins on Sunday while allowing two earned runs on two hits over an inning, but he's now bounced back to toss back-to-back scoreless frames.
Apr 5 2022Ramirez finished Cactus League play with a 3.60 ERA and 7:3 K:BB over five innings across five appearances. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander impressively allowed just a pair of hits during that span as well and looks tuned up for what could be a step up in volume during his third big-league season. Ramirez has been a relatively nimble bullpen asset during his first pair of big-league stints, recording five saves in addition to adeptly filling a middle/later-inning relief role. Daniel Kramer of MLB.com notes the 26-year-old also showed a knack for getting out of jams last season, posting a 77.2 percent LOB rate across his 27.2 innings.
Sep 5 2021Ramirez (1-2) got the win in Sunday's 10-4 victory against the Diamondbacks, striking out one in one inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez entered in the 10th inning of a tie game and retired two straight Diamondbacks with the winning run on third to keep the game going. Seattle went on to score six runs in the top of the 11th to earn Ramirez his first career win. The 26-year-old righty has taken on a larger role of late, permitting just one run in his last 7.1 innings across seven appearances while recording Sunday's win and two saves in the process.
Sep 3 2021Ramirez fired a perfect 10th inning while striking out one to earn the save in the win over the Diamondbacks on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez entered the 10th inning with a one-run lead and a runner on second base. He retired the side in order, picking up his second save of the season. The reliever has a 3.86 ERA and 0.80 WHIP with 24 strikeouts in 18.2 innings. He does not normally pitch in save situations, but extra-innings allowed him to receive another rare opportunity.
Aug 28 2021Ramirez (0-2) was charged with the loss in an extra-innings defeat at the hands of the Royals on Friday, allowing two runs (one earned) on one hit over one inning. He struck out one. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Charged with preserving a 6-6 tie when he entered in the 12th inning, Ramirez retired the first two hitters he faced before surrendering a go-ahead two-run home run to Edward Olivares that would prove to be the difference in the contest. The stumble snapped a brief three-outing scoreless streak for Ramirez, who was notably making his fourth appearance in seven days Friday.
Aug 22 2021Ramirez recorded two outs, including one strikeout, to earn a save over Houston on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez continues to shuffle between Seattle and Triple-A Tacoma but made good use of his time in the bigs this weekend. Over the last two games, he tossed 2.1 perfect innings with five strikeouts and a save. The 6-foot-4 righty could head back to the minors once Casey Sadler (paternity leave) returns to the Mariners.
Aug 20 2021Ramirez was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez has spent a lot of time on Interstate 5 lately, as he was called up Aug. 12, optioned four days later and now called up again four days after that. He's thrown a total of 12.1 innings at the major-league level this season, struggling to a 5.11 ERA despite a 0.89 WHIP. He'll take the bullpen spot that had belonged to Casey Sadler, who was placed on the paternity list.
Aug 16 2021Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez joined the Mariners' bullpen for their weekend series against the Blue Jays and allowed two runs on two hits and no walks while striking out three in two innings during his lone appearance. He'll head back to the minors after Paul Sewald was reinstated from the paternity list.
Aug 12 2021Ramirez was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez was sent to the minors July 22, but he'll rejoin the major-league bullpen to provide a fresh arm while Paul Sewald is on the paternity list. The right-hander has recorded a 4.35 ERA and 0.87 WHIP in 10.1 innings across seven relief appearances with the Mariners this year.
Jul 22 2021Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez has been with the big-league club since late June and pitched on four occasions since. In that span, he's worked 5.1 frames and delivered a solid 3.38 ERA and 0.94 WHIP. Ramirez will likely be in consideration for a promotion if the Marines are in need of extra bullpen arms later in the season.
Jul 12 2021Ramirez (0-1) allowed two runs on one hit and a walk over just a third of an inning as he took the loss against the Angels on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez entered to begin the fifth with the game still tied at one and was unable to keep things even. He hit and walked the first two batters he faced and they eventually crossed home on a single from David Fletcher to put the Angels up 3-1. Ramirez was pulled after four batters and the Mariners were unable to score the rest of the game, which set him up for the loss. The 26-year-old has a 4.82 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB over 9.1 innings in six relief appearances so far.
Jul 4 2021Ramirez fired three scoreless innings in a loss to the Rangers on Saturday, allowing a hit and a walk while recording four strikeouts. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez's current big-league stint continued unblemished Saturday, as he's now put together five scoreless frames across three appearances since being recalled from Triple-A Tacoma last Sunday. The right-hander boasts a 3.00 ERA and 0.67 WHIP across five appearances with the Mariners following a successful 2020 debut when he recorded three saves, one hold and a 2.61 ERA across 20.2 innings over 16 appearances.
Jun 27 2021Ramirez was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma prior to Sunday's game against the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez will rejoin the 26-man roster as Marco Gonzales was placed on the paternity list. The Mariners haven't announced who will start in place of Gonzales during the seven-inning game that will follow the suspended contest from Saturday, but Ramirez could be an option to log multiple innings. The right-hander has made two big-league appearances this season, punching out four while allowing three runs across four innings.
Jun 22 2021Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez has bounced back and forth between Seattle and Tacoma, with this marking his third demotion since May 27. If the Mariners continue this pattern, Ramirez figures to get promoted once again when the club becomes in need of an additional bullpen arm. Ramirez has appeared in two big-league games this season, allowing three runs on two hits and two walks across four innings. Donovan Walton was recalled from Tacoma in a corresponding roster move.
Jun 18 2021The Mariners recalled Ramirez from Triple-A Tacoma prior to Friday's game against Tampa Bay. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's been a hectic for the right-hander, as he was recalled from Tacoma on Saturday before being sent back down Monday. He'll now return to the big leagues, where he's given up three earned runs through four innings so far this season.
Jun 14 2021Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez was recalled just a few days earlier, but he'll head back to the minors after failing to make an appearance. Luis Torrens was promoted Monday in a corresponding move.
Jun 12 2021Ramirez was recalled by the Mariners on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez spent a brief period in the big leagues in late May, allowing three runs in four innings of relief across a pair of appearances. He'll likely fill a low-leverage role for now.
May 27 2021Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez made two relief appearances during his brief stint with the major-league club but will now return to Triple-A Tacoma. The right-hander allowed three runs while striking out four in four innings during his two outings with the Mariners.
May 21 2021Ramirez was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Four members of Seattle's bullpen landed on the COVID-19 injured list in the same flurry of moves. Ramirez had a 6.48 ERA in 8.1 innings at Triple-A.
Mar 22 2021Ramirez was optioned to the alternate site Monday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez was a Rule 5 pick for the team in 2019 and showed glimpses of promise in the shortened 2020 campaign, racking up 26 strikeouts across 20.2 innings of work while maintaining a 2.61 ERA. However, he was held back during spring training due to COVID-19 protocols and has made only one official appearance as a result. Ramirez will almost certainly be back with Seattle at some point this season and could be a candidate to work in high-leverage roles if he can control his pitches more effectively.
Mar 16 2021Ramirez allowed two earned runs on two hit batsmen and a walk over one inning in a Cactus League loss to the Diamondbacks on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The outing marked Ramirez's spring debut following a bout with COVID-19 earlier in the month. The hard-throwing right-hander was a surprisingly pivotal part of the Mariners bullpen in 2020 with three saves, a hold and a 2.61 ERA across 20.2 innings (16 appearances), but control was also a significant concern (8.7 BB/9). His initial struggles aside, that body of work last season is likely to help Ramirez latch onto an Opening Day roster spot, with Daniel Kramer of MLB.com including the 25-year-old as one of the team's relievers in his latest roster projection.
Mar 8 2021Ramirez was cleared to rejoin the Mariners for workouts Monday after passing all COVID-19-related protocols, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez was away from the team for seven days while he waited to clear the protocol. As a reliever, Ramirez won't need much time to ramp up for game action, so the week-long absence shouldn't jeopardize his availability for Opening Day. Ramirez made 16 appearances out of the Seattle bullpen as a rookie last season, logging a 2.61 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 26:20 K:BB in 20.2 innings while going 3-for-3 in save chances.
Sep 14 2020Ramirez was credited with his first hold in Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks, firing a scoreless eighth inning during which he allowed no hits and one walk while also recording a strikeout. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez got through his one frame on 15 pitches, serving as an important component of an impressive multi-reliever effort for the Mariners on a day when significant control issues limited starter Justin Dunn to two innings. Ramirez has been on a roll for over a month after a rocky outing against the Rockies on Aug. 7, as he's now generated scoreless appearances in six of his last seven trips to the mound.
Sep 7 2020Ramirez walked one in two-thirds of an inning to record his third save of the season in Monday's 8-4 win over the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After Aaron Fletcher gave up a run and left the bases loaded with one out in the top of the ninth, Ramirez was called in to protect an 8-3 lead with the potential tying run on deck and allowed an inherited run to score on a sac fly before getting Elvis Andrus to pop out to end the Texas rally. Ramirez has now gotten the save in his last three appearances, and he seems to be manager Scott Servais' top choice as closer at the moment.
Sep 5 2020Ramirez earned the save against Texas on Saturday, pitching one inning and allowing one run on one hit while striking out one. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: A day after regular closer Yoshihisa Hirano allowed two runs and threw 30 pitches, Ramirez was called upon to protect a three-run lead in the final frame Saturday. The right-hander gave up a solo home run to Shin-Soo Choo but was otherwise up to the task, needing 19 pitches to close out the victory. Ramirez has been one of Seattle's most effective relievers this season, posting a 3.21 ERA and 14.1 K/9 over 14 innings.
Aug 30 2020Ramirez pitched a scoreless 10th inning, allowing one walk while striking out a pair to earn the save in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramirez relieved regular closer Taylor Williams to start the 10th inning and the former was able to strike out a pair before intentionally walking Mike Trout. Ramirez then got Anthony Rendon on a flyout to close out the contest. It's the first save of the year for Ramirez, who has a 2.77 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 21 strikeouts across 13 innings. He typically works earlier in games as a multi-inning relief option.
Aug 8 2020Ramirez allowed three earned runs on three hits and four walks over two innings in a loss to the Rockies on Friday. He struck out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander was logging his first action since Sunday and only his fourth appearance of the season overall, and he saw his unblemished ERA take quite the hit. Ramirez had opened the campaign with five scoreless innings, proving to be a valuable multi-inning commodity for manager Scott Servais after a rough Cactus League stint this spring. With his ability to work multiple frames when necessary, Ramirez should continue to see fairly steady work during the balance of the season.
May 26 2020Ramirez was one of several players present for the re-start of workouts at the Mariners' spring facility in Peoria, Arizona on Tuesday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old right-hander was able to play catch and get some cardio work in under staff supervision, and he and his fellow pitchers will eventually be able to throw off a bullpen mound. Ramirez was still trying to work out some kinks when spring training was suspended, as he'd pitched to a 12.27 ERA across his four Cactus League appearances. He was still considered to be in contention for a bullpen spot, however, and the expanded rosters expected to be part of any abbreviated 2020 season likely up his chances of sticking with the Mariners.
Apr 7 2020Ramirez, who posted a 12.27 ERA across four Cactus League appearances before spring training was suspended, was still in contention for a bullpen spot when spring training was suspended, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old right-hander was a Rule 5 pick from the Astros organization in December, and his rights will revert to Houston if the Mariners ultimately opt to leave him off the Opening Day roster. Ramirez didn't exactly make a strong case for himself this spring, but he's shown plenty of promise at multiple stops during his minor-league career. Given the consequences that would surround his release, it's possible the Mariners use one of three potential extra roster spots to open the season on Ramirez in order to buy more time with which to evaluate him.
Dec 12 2019The Mariners selected Ramirez with the fifth pick of the Rule 5 draft. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: A 24-year-old righty from the Astros' organization, Ramirez logged a 4.76 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 89:52 K:BB in 62.1 innings at Double-A, working as both a starter and reliever. He obviously has the stuff to miss bats, but his control is currently below average. If the Mariners hold him all season, he will only work in low-leverage spots.
