Athletics Designate Carlos Ramirez For Assignment

By Steve Adams | August 1, 2018 at 6:17pm CDT

The A’s announced Wednesday that they’ve designated right-hander Carlos Ramirez for assignment. His spot will go to outfielder Boog Powell, who has been activated from the 60-day disabled list and optioned to Triple-A Nashville. Oakland also announced that young outfielder Dustin Fowler has been optioned to Nashville as well.

Ramirez, 27, was claimed off waivers out of the Blue Jays organization earlier this year and appeared in three games earlier this summer before being optioned to Nashville in mid-June. Ramirez has logged 25 innings in the Majors between Toronto and Oakland, pitching to a 2.88 ERA — albeit with a lackluster 19-to-12 K/BB ratio. He’s spent parts of two seasons at the Triple-A level as well, where he’s notched a 3.50 ERA with 9.5 K/9 against 4.5 BB/9 in 46 1/3 innings.

The A’s will have a week to find a taker for Ramirez or run him through outright waivers in hopes of keeping him in the organization. He does have two option years remaining beyond the 2018 season, so he could appeal to other organizations in search of some bullpen flexibility.

    Is that right that Carlos Ramirez’s Era was 0.00 over 25 games in the minors in 2017?

      Yes, then he was promoted to Toronto and gave up exactly 1 hit + 2 walks in his first 10 innings of work. He became quite a positive story for an otherwise moribund Blue Jays team at the end of the season.

    I think that means that Boog is coming back…

      Boog was immediately optioned to AAA, they took Laureano out of the game to be called up, which will probably be announced later today or tomorrow
