Erasmo Ramirez To “Miss Significant Time” Due To Shoulder Injuries

By Mark Polishuk | March 8, 2025 at 5:32pm CDT

Twins right-hander Erasmo Ramirez has tears in his teres minor and lat muscles, team trainer Nick Paparesta told reporters (including La Velle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star Tribune).  It appears as though Ramirez is facing a long absence, as Paparesta said it will be multiple weeks before the veteran pitcher is even re-examined for a status check.

Ramirez has been a member of the Twins organization for less than a month, after he signed a minor league contract with the club back on February 15.  Ramirez threw in just one Spring Training game, and that now looks like it’ll be his only game action for quite some time, dealing a severe blow to the righty entering what would be his 14th Major League season.

It isn’t known if surgery might be a consideration, or if such steps won’t be known until after Ramirez is re-examined.  Ramirez has been relatively durable during his long career, though he missed over four months of the 2018 season dealing with a couple of shoulder-related problems.

Ramirez has pitched for six different teams over his career, working as a starter, swingman, and now as a multi-inning reliever.  The majority of Ramirez’s career has been spent with the Mariners and Rays, as two separate stints with each of those two teams have accounted for 691 2/3 of his 849 career innings.  Ramirez is coming off his second stint in Tampa Bay, and he posted a 4.35 ERA over 20 2/3 innings for the Rays at the big league level last season.

    Talk about sone tough luck. This guy, Erasmo Ramirez, grinds it out for parts of 13 seasons and just when he reaches his 9th service year in MLB, his shoulder gives out while he’s on a non guaranteed, minor league contract.

    Good on him for still sticking around and making an 85MPH FB work. Same for Jesse Chavez who has a 16 ERA for Texas right now, and will go back to Atlanta soon.

      Chavez pitched some good innings last season for Atlanta, hard to knock the guy.

    Amazing how many pitching injuries there are across MLB…this is why you have to play 162….and as a sidenote, how smart are the Yankees for not trying Stroman for a bag of balls as so many called for…..

    The true value of a veteran pitcher is not their past performance, but their probability of future availability. The Erasmo Ramirez injury as a “Stochastic event” highlighting the inherent unpredictability of aging athletes and the need for probabilistic risk modeling in roster construction.

    Pitching labs should be recorded and reviewed, doctors should be included, examine all the data. Hire college or minor league pitchers to film their practice routines and analyze information. I bet weighted balls are an issue. I think weighted balls are a problem and insufficient resting the arm.

      I think he’s already missed “a significant amount of time” being that he hasn’t pitched since 2007.

        And what happens when you sign 48 year old pitcher.

        Doesn’t even last a month.

        What in the Jamie Moyer is going on? Haha

    50 years from now when barely anyone remembers who he is — there will be an article on this site about how he passed away. People will ask themselves wtf is that!?
    He was a middling long reliever type who could take 10 starts a year. Often got hurt and was mediocre at his peak.
