Erasmo Ramirez Clears Waivers

By Mark Polishuk | October 2, 2023 at 4:35pm CDT

TODAY: Erasmo Ramirez has cleared waivers and accepted an outright assignment, the Rays announced. He will report to the team’s alternate training site in Sarasota, where he will be available in case he’s needed as an injury replacement for the postseason.

SATURDAY:
The Rays announced that right-hander Erasmo Ramirez has been designated for assignment.  Right-hander Cooper Criswell was called up from Triple-A in the corresponding transaction.

After first pitching for the Rays during the 2015-17 seasons, Ramirez made his return to Tampa when he signed a minor league deal with the club back in June.  He has been on the MLB roster since the end of July, and has a 6.48 ERA over 33 1/3 innings and 15 appearances in a Rays uniform this season.  This includes a tough outing yesterday, when Ramirez allowed six runs (four earned) over three innings in a long relief effort in the Rays’ 11-4 loss to the Blue Jays.

Ramirez’s numbers with the Rays aren’t much different than the 6.33 ERA he posted in 27 innings with the Nationals to begin the season, before Washington DFA’ed and then released the 33-year-old in June.  It was just last year that Ramirez seemingly resurrected his career with a 2.92 ERA over 86 1/3 innings for the Nats, but the veteran now finds himself once more looking to turn a new page.

Ramirez will surely clear waivers and might end up being released again, since it didn’t seem like he was going to be part of Tampa Bay’s postseason roster plans.  In the event that Ramirez clears waivers and is then outrighted off the 40-man roster, he has more than enough service time to reject a Triple-A assignment and choose free agency anyway, so it could be that he’ll be getting a jump on the rest of the free agent market.

Now in his 12th MLB season, Ramirez has mostly worked in a swingman capacity, able to both step into a rotation on occasion or just soak up innings as a long reliever.  Ramirez has pitched with six different teams at the Major League level, mostly with the Rays (356 2/3 innings) and the Mariners (314 1/3).

    Solid in 2022. Awful in 2023. Crazy how relivers can do that from season to season.

      Erasmo’s always been a league average SP and swingman, who’s just a couple of bad outings from a DFA. Theres nothing much to see here.

    One of two guys name Erasmo Ramirez to have played in the bigs. This one has made around 13 million bucks in his journeyman career. Good for him. Next season, someone might park him in AAA for insurance against injuries. The M’s have Tommy Milone in Tacoma for example. Best of luck.

    For those interested, this guy is one of the 3 protagonists in Lucas Mann’s book Single A, which follows the Clinton (Iowa) Lumberkings through the 2010 season.. Amazing to think he’s still playing., having made $13m.
