The Dodgers designated Ramirez for assignment Tuesday.
Just two days after being selected from Triple-A, Ramirez will once again be without a spot on the 40-man as Yoshinobu Yamamoto (triceps/shoulder) returns from the 60-day IL. The 35-year-old allowed three runs (one earned) over two innings during his appearance Monday and carries a 6.08 ERA through 13.1 MLB frames.

Rotowire
Ramirez was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City by the Dodgers on Saturday.
Acquired from the Yankees earlier this month, Ramirez posted a 2.66 ERA and 28:9 K:BB over 40.2 innings at the big-league level in 2023. He should operate in low-leverage spots for the Dodgers.

Yankees' Nick Ramirez: Sent to minor-league camp
Rotowire
The Yankees optioned Ramirez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.
Ramirez posted a 6.14 ERA over 7.1 innings during spring training and was unable to earn a place on the Opening Day roster. The left-hander pitched well for the Yankees last season with a 2.66 ERA in 32 appearances, so it's likely just a matter of time before he's recalled in 2024.

Yankees' Nick Ramirez: Collects first career save
Rotowire
Ramirez struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Tuesday to record his first career save in the second game of a doubleheader against the Red Sox.
Clay Holmes, Tommy Kahnle and Wandy Peralta had all worked the matinee, so manager Aaron Boone had to get a bit creative in the nightcap with his bullpen. Ramirez was up to the task in the ninth, needing only 13 pitches (eight strikes) to breeze through Boston's 2-3-4 hitters. The 34-year-old lefty has bounced between the majors and Triple-A in the second half but has been effective when called upon, posting a 1.84 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 11:2 K:BB through 14.2 big-league innings since the All-Star break.

Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.
Ramirez has pitched well this season with a 2.67 ERA and 25:9 K:BB over 33.2 frames, but he finds himself back in the minors nonetheless. The Yankees haven't announced a corresponding move yet, but it's expected to be Randy Vasquez coming up to start Friday in Miami.

Yankees' Nick Ramirez: Back with big club
Rotowire
The Yankees recalled Ramirez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.
Ramirez had been optioned to Triple-A on Friday, but he'll be eligible to rejoin the Yankees just three days later after left-hander Carlos Rodon (hamstring) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Since Rodon lasted just 2.2 innings into his start Sunday against the Astros before departing with the injury, Ramirez will be called upon to provide a fresh arm to a taxed bullpen. Ramirez has compiled a 2.48 ERA and 1.26 WHIP over 32.2 innings in the New York bullpen this season.

Yankees' Nick Ramirez: Sent down to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Yankees optioned Ramirez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after Friday's game.
A roster spot had to be freed up with Nestor Cortes (shoulder) returning Saturday. Ramirez has been highly effective with a 2.48 ERA so far this season, but he's going to be unavailable for a few days after covering 2.1 innings in Friday's loss to Houston, and the Yankees need all hands on deck over the remainder of the weekend. Expect Ramirez to be back with the club before too long.

Yankees' Nick Ramirez: Back in New York
Rotowire
The Yankees recalled Ramirez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.
With Ryan Weber (forearm) headed for the injured list, Ramirez will return to the Yankees' bullpen in his place. The 33-year-old lefty holds a 2.00 ERA and 1.33 WHIP through nine big-league innings this season, but his 5:4 K:BB ratio makes it unlikely he sees many high-leverage situations.

Rotowire
Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Thursday's game against the Orioles.
Ramirez was recalled May 17 and has made three appearances since, allowing no earned runs across 2.2 frames. He pitched both Wednesday and Thursday, so this could be a move to ensure the team has enough arms in its bullpen to get through its weekend series against the Padres.

Ramirez owns a 5.75 ERA in 20.1 major-league innings this season, the last of which came back in early July. His 5.23 ERA over 41.1 frames at the Triple-A level isn't much better. He'll exit the 40-man roster as the Padres add Vince Velasquez ahead of his scheduled start against the Cardinals.

Padres' Nick Ramirez: Activated, optioned
Rotowire
The Padres activated Ramirez (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Monday and optioned him to Triple-A El Paso.
The transaction clears a spot on the active roster for infielder Adam Frazier, whom the team officially acquired Monday in a trade with the Pirates. Ramirez was placed on the IL on July 8 with left rotator cuff inflammation, but he was cleared to begin a rehab assignment at El Paso last week and appears to be fully healthy.
