Dodgers' Yohan Ramirez: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
The Dodgers designated Ramirez for assignment Thursday.
Hewill end up as the Dodgers' roster casualty following the return of Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) from the 60-day IL, marking the fourth time Ramirez has been DFA'd this season. The 29-year-old righty owns a career-worst 5.98 ERA and 1.44 WHIP through 43.2 innings on the year, though he still may draw interest on the waiver wire from other teams in need of immediate bullpen help.

Dodgers' Yohan Ramirez: Blows save, takes loss
Rotowire
Ramirez (0-5) allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits while striking out one batter against Detroit on Sunday. He was charged with a blown save and a loss.
Ramirez was called upon to hold a 3-2 lead in the ninth inning and allowed the Tigers to end their first half with a walk-off win. He pitched in all three games against Detroit during the weekend series and took two losses. Ramirez has blown two of his three save chances this season and owns a 4.68 ERA through 42.1 innings. Evan Phillips received Sunday off after blowing a save Saturday.

Dodgers' Yohan Ramirez: Collects first save
Rotowire
Ramirez 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.
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.

Mets' Yohan Ramirez: Suspension reduced to two games
Rotowire
Ramirez's suspension was reduced from three games to two games Monday following an appeal, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
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.
Ramirez 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.
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.

Mets' Yohan Ramirez: Secures spot on 26-man roster
Rotowire
Ramirez will begin the season in the Mets' bullpen, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.
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.

Mets' Yohan Ramirez: Could make Opening Day roster
Rotowire
Ramirez's impressive spring has him in the running for the final spot in the Mets' Opening Day bullpen, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
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.
