Ramirez signed a contract with the Tecolotes de los Dos Laredos of the Mexican League on Monday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ramirez has evidently been unable to find a minor-league contract offer to his liking, but his deal with Dos Laredos does not have a buyout should a big-league club come calling later on. The 30-year-old slashed .261/.280/.324 in 73 games between the Rays and Nationals in 2024.

Ramirez signed a minor-league contract with Atlanta on Friday, Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After being released by the Nationals on Aug. 14, Ramirez will now attempt to carve out a role for himself with Atlanta. The 29-year-old has slashed .261/.280/.324 with 29 RBI across 246 plate appearances between the Rays and Nationals this season, though he'll likely need to turn in some positive results at Triple-A Gwinnett before he gets another shot in the majors.

The Nationals requested unconditional release waivers for Ramirez on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old was designated for assignment by Washington on Tuesday, and he won't stick in the organization. Ramirez has a .261/.280/.324 slash line with two homers and six steals in 73 games between the Nationals and Rays this season.

The Nationals designated Ramirez for assignment Tuesday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ramirez slashed just .243/.273/.365 in 25 games for the Nationals, which was only a modest improvement over the .268/.284/.305 he hit with the Rays earlier this season. The 29-year-old still boasts a career .316/.351/.438 batting line against lefties, so he could draw some interest from a club in need a short-side platoon bat.

Ramirez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ramirez has a .908 OPS in 30 at-bats since the All-Star break but will sit Sunday for the second consecutive game. Travis Blankenhorn will receive another turn at designated hitter against Milwaukee righty Tobias Myers.

Ramirez isn't in the Nationals' lineup for Saturday's game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Ramirez will get a breather Saturday after going 8-for-24 with six RBI and four runs scored over his last six games. Travis Blankenhorn will fill in as Washington's designated hitter and bat sixth.

Ramirez will serve as the Nationals' designated hitter and No. 3 batter in Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Ramirez will draw his second consecutive start at designated hitter and should see an uptick in playing time after Jesse Winker was traded to the Mets on Saturday and Lane Thomas was shipped to the Guardians on Monday. Since signing with Washington in mid-June and getting called up to the big club, Ramirez is slashing .319/.333/.468 with one home run and 13 RBI in 16 games.

Ramirez went 3-for-3 with a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 14-3 win over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Ramirez came into the game as a pinch hitter for Jesse Winker, who was pulled because he was traded to the Mets. Ramirez immediately took advantage with an excellent performance that included his first multi-hit effort since June 29. The veteran outfielder is hitting .308 (8-for-26) in July, and he may see a larger role now that Winker is out of the picture. For the season, Ramirez is slashing .275/.291/.338 with two home runs, 26 RBI, 26 runs scored and five stolen bases over 213 plate appearances between the Rays and the Nationals.

Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a 5-4 win against the Reds on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

After Cincinnati tallied two runs in the top of the first inning, Ramirez knotted up the score with a two-run blast in the bottom of the frame. The long ball ended a 45-game homerless stretch for the veteran dating back to April 15. Ramirez went deep a career-high 12 times last season, but he's homered only twice through 61 games this year.

Ramirez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

The right-handed-hitting Ramirez drew the start at designated hitter in Saturday's 6-5 win while the Brewers brought lefty Dallas Keuchel to the hill, but Ramirez will hit the bench for Sunday's series finale. Ramirez, who owns a .576 OPS since being promoted from Triple-A Rochester on June 24, should continue to serve as a short-side platoon player for the Nationals.
