EDGE Analysis
Ramirez has made nine starts and five relief appearances for the Orioles this season, struggling to a 5.94 ERA. His strikeout rate of 21.0 percent is mediocre, while his 12.7 percent walk rate is poor.

Ramirez will no longer start during the team's upcoming three-game series against the Blue Jays, which starts Monday, Eduardo A. Encina of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
David Hess and Alex Cobb are scheduled to pitch Monday and Wednesday, and manager Buck Showalter said prior to Monday's series opener that someone would be promoted from the minors to start Tuesday, leaving Ramirez to continue on in the bullpen for the time being. After compiling a 10.53 ERA in five second-half starts, the 24-year-old struck out two across three scoreless innings of relief against the Yankees over the weekend.

Ramirez isn't expected to make his next start until the Orioles' three-game series with the Blue Jays, which begins Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Ramirez, whose previous start came last weekend in Cleveland, was dropped from the Orioles' pitching schedule this week after an off day Thursday allowed the team to reorder its rotation. Rather than turning to Ramirez for one half of the doubleheader Saturday with the Yankees, the Orioles recalled Jimmy Yacabonis from Triple-A Norfolk to start Game 1. Yacabonis is serving as the club's 26th man for the twin bill and is expected to be sent back to Norfolk after the start, paving the way for Ramirez to rejoin the rotation versus Toronto. The time off could prove beneficial to Ramirez, who has posted a 10.53 ERA and 2.08 WHIP in his five starts since the All-Star break.

Ramirez (1-5) gave up seven runs on seven hits and five walks while striking out two Sunday against the Indians. He was charged with the loss.
EDGE Analysis
He now sports a 6.49 ERA and 5.35 FIP on the season. He is striking out almost a batter per inning (42 in 43 IP), but his 5.2 BB/9 illustrates how shaky his control is. If Ramirez sticks in the rotation he would likely start one half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Yankees.

Ramirez pitched just 1.2 innings Sunday, yielding five runs on five hits and five walks in the 9-6 win over Texas. He struck out one batter in the no-decision.
EDGE Analysis
Ramirez was saved by his offense after a terrible performance Sunday. In his last two outings, the rookie right-hander has been shelled for 11 runs in just 6.2 innings, raising his season ERA from 3.49 to 5.66 in the process. Ramirez should be avoided for fantasy purposes, especially in his next start against Boston on Saturday.

Ramirez is being listed by the Orioles as Saturday's starter against the Rangers, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ramirez is set to make his fourth start with the Orioles after being called up from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday. With Andrew Cashner (neck) likely to return following the All-Star break, there's a good chance Ramirez could find himself back in the minor leagues following Saturday's outing.

Ramirez was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Ramirez will head back to the major leagues after being optioned to Triple-A on Tuesday. He'll likely start either Saturday or Sunday against Texas, as the Orioles are down a starter with Andrew Cashner (neck) landing on the 10-day disabled list. Ramirez has made four appearances (three starts) at the big-league level in 2018, posting a 3.93 ERA and 1.25 WHIP with 17 strikeouts over 18.1 innings.

Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Orioles, who may have the worst rotation depth in baseball, have turned to Ramirez for three starts and four total appearances this year, and he has performed as well as could have been expected. The 24-year-old righty has logged a 3.93 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 17 strikeouts in 18.1 innings with the big club, but was predictably hit hard by the Yankees in his most recent start. Baltimore summoned Donnie Hart and Jhan Marinez from Triple-A to add some fresh arms to the bullpen. It is unclear who will slot into the rotation to take Ramirez's spot on Saturday against the Rangers.

Ramirez took the loss despite allowing just one earned run in five innings Wednesday against the Phillies, giving up just one hit and two walks while striking out four batters.
EDGE Analysis
It was a promising performance in Ramirez's second career start, but it wasn't enough, as he was outdueled by Aaron Nola, who allowed just one run in seven innings. Ramirez could have escaped the fifth inning without allowing a run but was let down by Chris Davis, whose error allowed two runs (one unearned) to score, which proved to be all the run support Nola would need. Ramirez's solid performance should keep him in the rotation. He'll be lined up to start Monday against the Yankees.

Ramirez will start Wednesday against the Phillies, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ramirez has appeared once as a starter and once as a reliever this season but is up to start this time. He has a 3.88 ERA in 14 starts for Triple-A Norfolk this season. He'll take David Hess' spot in the rotation, with Hess shifting to a long-relief role.
