Designated for assignment Ramirez was designated for assignment by the Nationals on Wednesday,Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Ramirez has put up a 6.33 ERA over 23 relief appearances for the Nats this season. He's a good bet to clear waivers and, assuming that happens, has the ability to declare free agency.

Can't keep ball in park Tuesday Ramirez (2-2) took the loss Tuesday as the Nationals were downed by the Padres, coughing up four runs on four hits and a walk over one inning of relief.

Impact After Washington rallied to tie the game at 3-3 in the bottom of the fifth, Ramirez entered for the top of the sixth and promptly handed the lead back to San Diego on a Fernando Tatis sacrifice fly before serving up homers to Juan Soto and Jake Cronenworth in the seventh. Ramirez has only given up one homer in 23.1 innings prior to Tuesday's performance, and his ERA ballooned from 3.86 to 5.18 as a result. The 33-year-old right-hander will continue working in a relatively low-leverage role for the Nats.

Part of Opening Day bullpen Ramirez will begin the season in the Nationals' bullpen.

Impact The 32-year-old delivered solid numbers last season in a long relief role for the Nats, posting a 2.92 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 61:14 K:BB through 86.1 innings over 60 appearances with four wins and five holds. Ramirez's lack of high-leverage work, as well as the state of the rebuilding roster around him, gives him little fantasy appeal even if his ratios don't regress, however.

Re-signs with Washington Ramirez re-signed with the Nationals on a one-year, $2 million contract, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact Ramirez pitched well for the Nats in long relief in 2022, collecting a 2.92 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 61:14 K:BB ratio over 86.1 innings. He'll likely be used in a similar role in 2023, though he could also pitch in some higher-leverage spots.

Scoreless in short start Ramirez allowed one hit over three shutout frames in Sunday's win over Atlanta. He struck out two and did not factor in the decision.

Impact After Dansby Swanson singled in the first inning, Ramirez retired the next eight batters he faced as the Nationals jumped out to an early lead. The 32-year-old righty lowered his season ERA to 4.26 through 44.1 frames. It was his third outing of the year that lasted at least three innings and his first since June 17.

Gets start in bullpen day Ramirez is scheduled to serve as the Nationals' starting pitcher Sunday against Atlanta in what's expected to be a bullpen day, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Washington doesn't have an obvious candidate to serve as a bulk reliever behind Ramirez, so the right-hander could end up covering the most innings of any Nationals pitcher in the team's final game before the All-Star break. That being said, Ramirez will be pitching on one day's rest and hasn't covered more than 3.1 innings in any of his 36 appearances between the majors and Triple-A this season, so don't expect him to work deep into Sunday's start.

Hit hard in spot start Ramirez (1-1) allowed six runs on six hits and two walks with four strikeouts in three innings, taking the loss Monday versus Atlanta.

Impact Half of the hits Ramirez allowed landed over the fence, with Travis d'Arnaud, Marcell Ozuna and Adam Duvall all taking him deep. This was Ramirez's first start in 21 appearances this season, as he's mainly served as a low-leverage reliever. He has a 4.88 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 21:5 K:BB across 27.2 innings, and there's little from Monday's outing to suggest he should receive another look in the rotation barring an emergency.

Starting Monday Ramirez will start Monday's game against the Braves, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Josiah Gray was labeled as the starting pitcher for Monday's contest, but a rain delay will force the Nationals to roll Ramirez out there after Gray got hot in the bullpen and had to sit down prior to first pitch. This marks Ramirez's first start of the season, though he figures to toss only an inning or two in what will be a bullpen game for Washington.

Designated for assignment Ramirez was designated for assignment by the Tigers on Friday.

Impact Ramirez holds a 5.74 ERA and 1.09 WHIP across 26.2 innings this season, and Detroit has now opted to remove him from the 40-man roster after he allowed nine runs across his last 10 innings. The veteran right-hander could draw interest on the waiver wire from teams in need of relief help, but it would not be at all surprising if he goes unclaimed following his recent struggles.

Records four-out loss Ramirez (1-1) was tagged with the loss Sunday against Cleveland after allowing two runs on three hits while fanning one across 1.1 innings.

Impact Ramirez didn't have his best stuff Sunday and while he was extremely effective -- needing just 23 pitches to record four outs -- he still suffered his first loss of the campaign. He owns a 4.95 ERA on the campaign.

Picks up win Ramirez (1-0) pitched two perfect innings with one strikeout, earning the win Sunday versus Baltimore.

Impact The 31-year-old had an uneven July, but he's now strung together 7.1 scoreless innings while allowing just two hits and a walk in that span. Ramirez has filled a bulk relief role since he returned from a pectoral strain. He has a 4.32 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB in 16.2 innings across 10 appearances.

Solid in long relief Ramirez (pectoral) allowed a run on two hits across 2.2 innings in Friday's 8-2 loss to the White Sox.

Impact Friday was Ramirez's season debut. He allowed three runs on two hits and two walks with eight strikeouts across six innings in four rehab appearances with Triple-A Toledo. The right-hander was solid in limited time with the Mets last year, posting a 0.63 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 9:4 K:BB across 14.1 innings. He is expected to fill a bulk relief role going forward.
