Joining active roster The Pirates selected Ramirez's contract from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday

Impact Ramirez will get his first taste of MLB action this season, being called up after re-signing a minor-league contract with Pittsburgh on July 6. The 30-year-old logged a 3.07 ERA and a 39:11 K:BB across 29.1 innings with Indianapolis this season. Jared Triolo was optioned to Triple-A and Matt Gorski was designated for assignment in corresponding moves.

Back with Pittsburgh Ramirez re-signed Sunday with the Pirates on minor-league contract.

Impact After the Pirates granted him his release from his minor-league deal Friday, Ramirez was a free agent for two days before rejoining the organization on a new deal. The 30-year-old has yet to pitch in the majors this season but may not be far off a promotion after turning in a 3.29 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 35:10 K:BB in 27.1 innings with Indianapolis prior to his release.

JULY 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Let loose by Pittsburgh The Pirates released Ramirez on Friday, per MiLB.com.

Impact Ramirez pitched in 24 games for Triple-A Indianapolis this season, earning six saves and posting a 3.29 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 35:10 K:BB over 27.1 innings as a reliever. The right-hander has pitched with eight different teams over five seasons in the majors, compiling a career 4.58 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 173:86 K:BB over 169 frames. Ramirez will presumably need to accept another minor-league deal to find work in another organization.

Latches on with Pittsburgh The Pirates signed Ramirez to a minor-league contract on Oct. 13.

Impact Ramirez, 29, made a total of 32 appearances during stints with the Mets, Orioles, Dodgers and Red Sox in 2024, accumulating a 6.20 ERA and 45:17 K:BB over 45 innings. The right-hander will give the Pirates some organizational relief depth.

In his lone outing with Boston on Tuesday against Seattle, he gave up three runs (two earned) across 1.1 innings. Over his 38 major-league outings with four different teams this season, Ramirez has a 6.20 ERA and 1.47 WHIP across 45 innings.

Impact The right-hander was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Thursday and has now found a new home with the Red Sox. Ramirez has made 37 appearances between Dodgers, Mets and Orioles this season, but he's struggled to a career-worst 5.98 ERA over 43.2 innings.

Designated for assignment The Dodgers designated Ramirez for assignment Thursday.

Impact Ramirez will end up as the Dodgers' roster casualty following the return of Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) from the 60-day IL, marking the fourth time he 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.
