Mariners optioned RHP Erasmo Ramirez to Triple-A Tacoma.

Ramirez entered spring training with a rotation spot to lose, but the Mariners ultimately opted to go with Blake Beavan and Brandon Maurer as their fourth and fifth starters. The 22-year-old will prepare as a starting pitching in the minors and could be a useful waiver wire pickup if the Mariners give him a shot down the line.

Erasmo Ramirez will begin the season with Triple-A Tacoma.

The Mariners have seemingly settled on Blake Beavan and Brandon Maurer for the final two spots in their rotation, but they would rather have Ramirez prepare as a starter in the minors rather than pitch out of the bullpen in the majors. We liked Ramirez as a sleeper this spring, so he could have some sneaky value assuming he eventually convinces the Mariners that he is worthy of a rotation spot.

Erasmo Ramirez is scheduled to start in a minor league game Wednesday.

Ramirez was originally scheduled to pitch in relief Wednesday in a Cactus League game, but there has been a change of plans. Blake Beavan is considered the favorite for the fifth spot in the starting rotation, so perhaps the Mariners would rather have Ramirez start in the minors as opposed to pitch out of the bullpen in the majors. Stay tuned.

According to Ryan Divish of the Tacoma News Tribune, "it's looking more and more like Erasmo Ramirez won't be in the Mariners starting rotation" on Opening Day.

Ramirez will pitch in relief Wednesday in a Cactus League game, which is an indication that the M's are considering moving him to the bullpen. The 22-year-old right-hander posted an excellent 3.36 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 48/12 K/BB ratio over his first 59 major league innings last season. He was one of our favorite fantasy sleepers for 2013, but he won't carry much value in long relief.

Erasmo Ramirez allowed four runs over two innings Thursday against the Cubs.

He gave up six hits -- including a home run -- while striking out one. Ramirez picked a bad time for his worst outing of the spring, as he followed a fine effort from Jon Garland, one of his chief competitors for a rotation spot. Ramirez now holds a 3.86 ERA in Cactus League play.
Mar 22 - 8:36 AM

Erasmo Ramirez lowered his spring ERA to 1.50 in the Mariners 5-2 win over the Rockies Saturday.

Ramirez went six innings, giving up just a first inning run. He did give up eight hits and a walk but did a good job limiting damage over the course of the afternoon. The 22-year-old is locked in a battle with Jon Garland for the final spot in the rotation, but for fantasy purposes we'd like to see Ramirez emerge victorious. If he does win the job, he makes for an interesting late-round flier on draft day.
Mar 16 - 8:44 PM

Erasmo Ramirez tossed three scoreless relief innings in Wednesday's loss to the Brewers.

He allowed just one hit and one walk while punching out three batters. Ramirez has now spun six scoreless frames while allowing just five baserunners in three Cactus League appearances. The 22-year-old is a nice late-round target in fantasy leagues this spring.
Mar 6 - 6:36 PM

Erasmo Ramirez pitched two hitless innings of relief in Thursday's win over the Giants.

Ramirez struck out one and didn't walk a batter. The 22-year-old right-hander had a 3.36 ERA and 48/12 K/BB ratio over 59 innings with the M's last season and enters 2013 with plenty of momentum as a sleeper in fantasy leagues.
Feb 28 - 5:37 PM

Erasmo Ramirez yielded two runs and three hits in 6 1/3 innings Sunday in a no-decision against the A's.

Ramirez has made a great case for a spot in next year's rotation while amassing a 3.36 ERA and a 48/12 K/BB ratio in 59 innings down the stretch. He's not the Mariners' most exciting pitching prospect, but he'll be a great sleeper in 2013 with Safeco helping him along.

Erasmo Ramirez surrendered five runs (three earned) on seven hits in six innings Tuesday against the Angels.

The Angels struck first with a pair of unearned runs in the first inning, then added some muscle with Torii Hunter’s two-run homer in the fifth and Erick Aybar’s solo blast in the sixth. Ramirez has been awfully impressive in limited duty this year, posting a 1-3 record, 3.42 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 42/8 K/BB ratio through 52 2/3 innings. He’ll look to finish the season strong when he takes on the Angels at home on Monday.

Erasmo Ramirez turned in a stellar performance in a no-decision against the Orioles on Tuesday, allowing just two runs on four hits over eight-plus innings of work.

He carried a two-hit shutout into the ninth inning before allowing back-to-back singles to start the frame. He was then lifted for Tom Wilhelmsen, who eventually allowed both of the inherited runners to score. Ramirez has done a great job in split opportunities this season, posting a 3.28 ERA and 39/8 K/BB ratio in 46 2/3 innings. He’ll face the Angels next.

Erasmo Ramirez turned in a stellar performance in Tuesday’s victory over the Blue Jays, allowing just two runs on six hits over his seven innings of work.

Ramirez walked one and punched out six. He allowed single runs in the first and third innings, but was in full control after that. The young right-hander is now 1-2 with a 3.49 ERA and 33/8 K/BB ratio in 38 2/3 innings this season. He makes for a very intriguing streaming option against the Orioles at home on Monday.

Erasmo Ramirez will start for the Mariners on Tuesday when they take on the Blue Jays in Toronto.

The 22-year-old right-hander pitched fairly well for the Mariners earlier this season, compiling a 3.82 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 25/7 K/BB ratio over 30 2/3 innings, including four starts before straining his right elbow in July. He's worth a look as a matchup play in deeper fantasy formats.

Mariners recalled RHP Erasmo Ramirez from Triple-A Tacoma.

He pitched fairly well for the Mariners earlier this season, compiling a 3.82 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 25/7 K/BB ratio over 30 2/3 innings, including four starts before straining his right elbow in July. There have been no indications yet as to whether Ramirez will be utilized in the bullpen or rotation over the final month of the season.
