EDGE Analysis

Ramirez was called up by the Padres on Friday and allowed one hit and two walks while striking out two in two scoreless relief innings during Friday's win over Houston. He'll now return to the minors to make room in the bullpen for Aaron Northcraft, who was recalled in a corresponding move.
