Cubs' Carlos Ramirez: Banished to minor-league camp
The Cubs reassigned Ramirez to their minor-league camp Saturday, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Ramirez logged 17 big-league appearances across the past two seasons, but that prior experience wasn't enough to put the non-roster invitee in the mix for an Opening Day bullpen job. He'll likely open the 2019 campaign as a reliever at Triple-A Iowa.

Cubs' Carlos Ramirez: Invited to Cubs camp
Ramirez signed a minor-league deal with the Cubs that includes an invitation to spring training.
Ramirez has thrown 25 major-league innings over the last two seasons with Toronto and Oakland. The 27-year-old has a strong 2.88 ERA, though his peripherals don't come close to supporting that figure. His FIP sits at 4.88 thanks in large part to a mediocre 19:12 K:BB, and it's taken a .102 BABIP to get him to his low ERA.

Ramirez cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Nashville on Friday, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.
Ramirez was designated for assignment Wednesday when Boog Powell was reinstated from the 60-day disabled list. The 27-year-old generated a respectable 3.24 ERA across 8.1 innings for the Athletics this season, but he also issued nine walks, helping lead to a 1.44 WHIP. He's likely to remain with the Sounds as organizational depth for the remainder of the season.

Ramirez was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.
Ramirez will rejoin the Athletics' bullpen after spending the past two weeks at the minor-league level. During his lone appearance with Oakland this season, he tossed two scoreless innings against the Rays on May 20, which came just a week after he was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays. Look for him to serve out of low-leverage situations while he's with the club.

Athletics' Carlos Ramirez: Summoned from minors Saturday
Ramirez was called up from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.
The 27-year-old right-hander was brought up to help offset the placement of Santiago Casilla on the disabled list due to a right shoulder strain.

Ramirez also logged two big-league appearances this season while with Toronto, allowing one earned run on a hit and five walks while also recording three strikeouts across 2.2 innings.

The Blue Jays designated Ramirez for assignment Sunday.
Ramirez will cede his spot on the 40-man roster to Deck McGuire, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move.

Blue Jays' Carlos Ramirez: Called up from Triple-A
Ramirez was promoted to the big leagues Sunday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.
Ramirez will take the place of second baseman Devin Travis, who was struggling at the dish this season (batting .148 over 66 at-bats). The right-handed pitcher is set to come out of the bullpen, where the Blue Jays are already depleted. Ramirez gave up two runs on a hit and two walks across one inning in his last outing against Triple-A Pawtucket, but he'll look for a fresh start on the big-league stage.

Ramirez (shoulder) is expected to return to the mound within the next couple days, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.
Ramirez has been dealing with a sore shoulder, which has prohibited the right-hander from participating in any throwing drills in recent days. Consider him day-to-day as he looks to battle for a spot in the Blue Jays' bullpen for the beginning of the 2018 season.

Blue Jays' Carlos Ramirez: Reaches end of amazing scoreless-innings streak
Ramirez's incredible 47.2-innings scoreless streak ended Wednesday when he allowed four runs on three hits and a walk in a loss to Kansas City.
The right-hander's eye-popping streak lasted through stints in Double-A New Hampshire, Triple-A Buffalo and now Toronto. According to Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com, the 26-year-old converted outfielder is one of three pitchers in MLB history to not allow a hit in six of his first seven big-league games. "It has been an incredible year for the kid," manager John Gibbons said. "It was going to happen." Ramirez will likely begin 2018 back in Buffalo, but he'll certainly get a long look in spring training to see if he's ready to contribute at the big-league level.

Blue Jays' Carlos Ramirez: Scoreless season rolls into bigs
Ramirez allowed one hit and struck out a pair over two innings Sunday in Baltimore, maintaining his perfect ERA across three levels this season.
The 26-year-old September callup has now logged two scoreless appearances in his first three days as a big leaguer. Ramirez allowed one hit while notching four strikeouts through four frames against the Orioles over the weekend, and he appears poised to take on a high-leverage role during the final month.

Blue Jays' Carlos Ramirez: Arrives in majors
The Blue Jays selected Ramirez's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, John Lott of The Athletic Toronto reports.
The converted position player did not allow a run across 37.2 innings combined with Double-A New Hampshire and the Bisons, over which he struck out 45 and walked only 10. Ramirez may have a future as a high-leverage reliever, and his strikeout ability may make him useful in AL-only leagues for the season's final month.
