Free-agent pitcher Erasmo Ramirez is reportedly close to signing a minor-league deal with the Rays.
Fantasy Impact
The veteran was released by the Nationals last week and could land in Tampa where he pitched from 2015-2017. While he posted a 6.33 ERA in 23 relief appearances with the Nationals this season, the right-hander also worked to a 2.92 mark in 60 appearances (two starts) spanning 86 1/3 innings with the Nats in the 2022 campaign.
Erasmo Ramirez tossed three scoreless innings on the mound for the Nationals Sunday, allowing one hit and striking out two in the Nationals' 7-3 win over the Braves.
Fantasy Impact
Ramirez was called on for the spot start Sunday and kept hitters off-balance through three scoreless frames. The veteran right-hander carries a 4.26 ERA and 1.35 WHIP to go along with a6.70 K/9 ratio in 32 appearances (two starts) on the mound this season.
Erasmo Ramirez lasted just three innings on the mound for the Nationals Monday, allowing six runs on six hits while also walking two and striking out four in the Nationals' 9-6 loss to the Braves.
Fantasy Impact
Ramirez struggled on the mound after getting the start after Josiah Gray was scratched due to the game being delayed due to weather. The veteran right-hander has little fantasy value for fantasy owners at this point and is best left on the waiver wire.
Erasmo Ramirez (2-4) suffered the loss against the Rangers on Friday, allowing six earned runs, four hits and two walks over 2/3 innings while striking out two.
Fantasy Impact
Ramirez has been bad lately and has given up 10 earned runs over 6 2/3 innings in his last two starts. Ramirez's next start is currently slated for Wednesday against the A's but fantasy owners should be avoiding the 28-year-old pitcher in fantasy formats.
Erasmo Ramirez allowed four runs on four hits with a walk and two strikeouts over four innings against the Angels on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Ramirez continues to be someone that's hard to trust for fantasy purposes despite his solid showing in 2017. He's not going deep into games, with only one quality start in his last nine appearances. He has an ERA and WHIP of 5.65 and 1.35 on the season.
