Ruiz allowed two hits and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning against the Nationals to pick up his first save of the season. He struck out two. Ruiz was extremely shaky in his first save opportunity of 2024, loading the bases with zero outs before producing a pair of clutch strikeouts. He induced a Juan Yepez flyout to end the threat and pick up the first save of his eight-year career. The 29-year-old veteran was a serviceable bullpen arm for Philadelphia this season, logging a 3.71 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 52:17 K:BB in 51 innings, adding five wins and one save.

Ruiz had his contract selected from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday. 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.

The Phillies reassigned Ruiz to minor-league camp Sunday. The right-hander, who was attending camp with the Phillies as a non-roster invitee, fell short of winning a spot in the Opening Day bullpen despite striking out eight and allowing just one run over 10 innings in Grapefruit League play. Ruiz previously spent time at the big-league level with the White Sox and Diamondbacks in 2023, logging a 5.89 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 39:21 K:BB across 44.1 innings.

Ruiz agreed to a minor-league contract with the Phillies on Monday. The deal includes an invitation to big-league spring training, though Ruiz should be viewed as a long shot to secure a spot in the Phillies' Opening Day bullpen. Over 38 big-league appearances with the White Sox and Diamondbacks in 2023 spanning 44.1 innings, Ruiz posted a 5.89 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 39:21 K:BB while serving up 10 home runs.

Ruiz elected to become a free agent Thursday. Ruiz spent much of this season with the National League champion Diamondbacks before being removed from the 40-man roster just after the All-Star break. The 29-year-old will now look to latch on with another organization.
