Braves Promote Jesse Biddle, Place Jose Ramirez On 10-Day DL

By Jeff Todd | April 18, 2018 at 2:01pm CDT

The Braves are set to promote lefty Jesse Biddle to the big-league roster, per a club announcement. He’ll replace righty reliever Jose Ramirez, who is heading to the 10-day DL after experiencing shoulder inflammation.

It’s a long-awaited call-up for Biddle, who was selected in the first round of the 2010 draft and once regarded among the game’s hundred top pre-MLB players. Injuries disrupted his progress, however, and forced him out of the rotation.

Since landing with the Braves and working back to health, Biddle has shown well in the upper minors. He turned in 49 2/3 innings of 2.90 ERA ball last year at Double-A, registering 9.6 K/9 against 2.9 BB/9. And Biddle was off to an excellent start in the highest level of the minors in 2018, allowing just three hits and no runs while running up eight strikeouts against a single walk in his 6 1/3 innings.

As for Ramirez, 28, this’ll be a much-needed reprieve after a brutal opening to his own season. He has also tossed 6 1/3 frames, all in the majors, but with much different results. Ramirez has not only coughed up a dozen earned runs, but has surrendered eight walks to go with his seven punchouts.

      Also highly doubt there’s an injury, we just didn’t want to DFA him

        He was saying something about shoulder tightness. Either way, it’ll be a nice reprieve for him. Peripherals are down on him though

        Teams have to document injuries and such. They can’t just make them up. But basically every pitcher is pitching with some constant nagging pain, probably.

    I didn’t see the end of the game last night, but I saw he contributed heavily to the L. I had a feeling he was gonna end up on the DL with a “injury”

    Wishing Biddle lots of luck. Was drafted by his home town Phillies and never seemed to be right in the minors. Too many injuries to list. But hoping he can make something of his career now with a chance. Good luck Jesse.

      A lot more than if they were willing to find a taker for Kazmir.

    Biddle suffered a concussion during one of the worst hail storms I can remember. It actually shattered the glass on the roof of a mall in Reading. As weird as it seems he was never right after that.

      If I’m not mistaken he bombed out with personal issues, they granted him a leave to get his stuff in order.

        You are mistaken. He was still suffering concussion symptoms when people started that rumor. A real tough guy, the logic went, could play through blurred vision and migraines.

      That storm was crazy. You couldn’t get your car fixed afterwards, because so many people had dents and shattered glass.

    I’m so happy to see he’s getting a shot, use to be so excited for him when he was still in the Phillies system, thought he was going to be a solid starter for them for a long time. It’s a shame it didn’t work that way but awesome none the less

    I wish Biddle luck too.He has had some bad breaks,but I think he always had the ability to progress.I was hoping that the Pirates would keep him but he never got his mojo back with them.
