From Rotoworld: Mariners acquired Ramirez from the Rays in exchange for RHP Steve Cishek and cash considerations. Ramirez, of course, came up with the Mariners and made his debut with them. He’s posted a 4.80 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 55/16 K/BB ratio over 69 1/3 frames this season and will give the M’s the versatility to pitch in relief or in the rotation. Ramirez is under team control through 2019.
Rangers recalled Martinez from Triple-A Round Rock. Martinez will slide into the rotation on Tuesday versus the Mariners in place of Yu Darvish. He holds a 4.56 ERA and 1.31 WHIP in 11 starts and three relief appearances this season for Texas.
