Tigers Place Erasmo Ramirez On Release Waivers

By Steve Adams | August 28, 2021 at 4:49pm CDT

4:49PM: Ramirez has been placed on release waivers, the Tigers announced.

2:22PM: The Tigers have designated right-hander Erasmo Ramirez for assignment, per a club announcement. They’ve also reinstated catcher Eric Haase from the 10-day injured list and recalled right-hander Jason Foley from Triple-A Toledo.

It’s been a season of rough results for the 31-year-old Ramirez, who carries a 5.74 ERA through 26 2/3 innings of relief in Detroit. He’s gone through a particularly rough stretch of late, yielding runs in five of his past seven appearances — including a three-run drubbing in two-thirds of an inning at the hands of the Cardinals this week. He’s posted a below-average 18.3 percent strikeout rate this season, although to his credit, Ramirez’s 4.6 percent walk rate is excellent.

The 2020 campaign went much better for Ramirez, who pitched 14 1/3 innings out of the Mets’ bullpen and held opponents to just one run on eight hits and four walks with nine strikeouts. He’s pitched for five big league teams across parts of nine seasons, totaling 681 2/3 frames of 4.37 ERA ball with an 18.4 percent strikeout rate, a strong 6.7 percent walk rate and a solid 44 percent ground-ball rate. He’ll hit outright waivers or release waivers in the coming days, and Ramirez has the service time to reject an outright assignment to Triple-A Toledo if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

    Sure, but keep Urena around. He’s been worse for much longer.

    Mariner legend. Was the youngest guy in the league at one point when he was 22.

      Maybe by days, they also had fellas by the name stephan Pryor and Carlos triunfel who were 22 and one of the lone 100mph throwers at the time in a 21 Carter Capps.

      Goes to show you these young guys don’t always pan out.

    He seemed fine to me. Hope he sticks around.

    Ramirez was a decent innings-eating reliever in June and July, but struggled over the last weeks. Foley is more a boom-or-bust pitcher, but offers a bit more upside. Therefore I understand the move from a Tigers’ perspective.

    I liked Erasmo at first, but then, I didn’t. Pitching in the major leagues is really hard….and unforgiving.

    Wait what happened to Jose Cisnero and his 2.6 ERA in 60 G’s? Did he get hurt? He’s not even on the 40 man. I don’t see he got traded either

    He not the worse in the bullpen by any chance. I hope he signs a minor league deal with us and then in Toledo they can fix him.

    I do not think the Mud Hens have much in relief staff.
