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.

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: 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.
