The Pittsburgh Pirates recalled Yohan Ramirez from Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday night, optioning fellow right-hander Luis L. Ortiz to the minor league club in a corresponding move.
After allowing three unearned runs across 1 1/3 innings against the Chicago Cubs on June 19, Ramirez was sent to Indianapolis, where he has since made four appearances (one start) for the Indians.
In 19 relief appearances with the Pirates this season, the 28-year-old Ramirez is 1-0 with a 3.00 ERA.
Ortiz, 24, was 2-3 with a 4.86 ERA in 11 appearances (10 starts) with Pittsburgh prior to Wednesday’s move. He was roughed up in his most recent start, taking a no-decision after allowing six runs on nine hits in 3 1/3 innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday.
