Ramirez was optioned to the Padres' alternate training site Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Ramirez's contract was selected by the Padres on Saturday, and he made two relief appearances for San Diego. During that time, he allowed two hits while striking out two in three scoreless innings. However, Ramirez will now return to alternate camp to make room on the major-league roster for Dinelson Lamet (elbow), who was reinstated from the injured list Wednesday.
