The Cubs reassigned Ramirez to their minor-league camp Saturday, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ramirez logged 17 big-league appearances across the past two seasons, but that prior experience wasn't enough to put the non-roster invitee in the mix for an Opening Day bullpen job. He'll likely open the 2019 campaign as a reliever at Triple-A Iowa.

Ramirez signed a minor-league deal with the Cubs with an invitation to spring training Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Ramirez has thrown 25 major-league innings over the last two seasons with Toronto and Oakland. The 27-year-old has a strong 2.88 ERA, though his peripherals don't come close to supporting that figure. His FIP sits at 4.88 thanks in large part to a mediocre 19:12 K:BB, and it's taken a .102 BABIP to get him to his low ERA.

Ramirez was designated for assignment but the Athletics on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Ramirez was bumped off the 40-man roster to make room for the reinstatement of Boog Powell from the 60-day disabled list. Ramirez appeared in five games for the Athletics in 2018, allowing three runs while fanning five across 8.1 innings out of the bullpen.

Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Ramirez was called up on Thursday and threw four innings in two days, allowing a pair of runs on a hit and three walks while striking out two batters. Josh Lucas was promoted from Nashville to take his spot in the bullpen.

Ramirez was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Ramirez will rejoin the Athletics' bullpen after spending the past two weeks at the minor-league level. During his lone appearance with Oakland this season, he tossed two scoreless innings against the Rays on May 20, which came just a week after he was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays. Look for him to serve out of low-leverage situations while he's with the club.

Ramirez was sent to Triple-a Nashville on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Ramirez made one appearance for the Athletics during his latest big-league stint, tossing two scoreless innings on one hit and one walk. Khris Davis was reinstated from the disabled list Thursday, which prompted Ramirez's demotion.

Ramirez was claimed off waivers by the Athletics on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Ramirez was scooped up by the Athletics a week after being designated for assignment by the Blue Jays. The reliever owns a cumulative 2.57 ERA over eight minor league seasons and held a 2.84 ERA over 19 innings of relief with the Blue Jays over the past two seasons.

The Blue Jays designated Ramirez for assignment Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Ramirez will cede his spot on the 40-man roster to Deck McGuire, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move. The right-hander, who enjoyed a 47.2-inning scoreless streak across three levels at one point in 2017, made two appearances for the big club this season, giving up a run on one hit and five walks in 2.1 innings. If Ramirez goes unclaimed off waivers, he'll likely report to Buffalo.

Ramirez was sent down to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The Blue Jays made a series of moves following Thursday's doubleheader against the Indians on Thursday, including optioning Ramirez back to the minors just a few days after calling him up to the big leagues. Over two appearances, he allowed one earned run off one hit and five walks while striking out three in 2.1 innings of relief. He will likely spend a majority of the 2018 season at the Triple-A level.

Ramirez was promoted to the big leagues Sunday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ramirez will take the place of second baseman Devin Travis, who was struggling at the dish this season (batting .148 over 66 at-bats). The right-handed pitcher is set to come out of the bullpen where the Blue Jays are already depleted. Ramirez gave up two runs on a hit and two walks across one inning in his last outing against Triple-A Pawtucket, but he'll look for a fresh start on the big-league stage.
