Ramos agreed to a deal Tuesday with the Long Island Ducks of the independent Atlantic League.

EDGE Analysis

Ramos had been catching for Acereros de Monclova of the Mexican League, but he'll move to New York with designs on breaking back into MLB-affiliated ball. The 35-year-old former two-time All-Star last played in the majors in 2021, when he struggled to a .205/.248/.397 batting line in 44 games (163 plate appearances) between Detroit and Cleveland.

The Rangers released Ramos on Sept. 10.

EDGE Analysis

After signing a minor-league deal with Texas in mid-August, Ramos saw action in just three games for Round Rock before the organization elected to cut ties with him. Ramos turned 35 years old in August and may be running out of chances to re-emerge as a big-league catcher.

Ramos signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Tuesday and was assigned to Triple-A Round Rock.

EDGE Analysis

Ramos' recovery from the torn ACL he sustained last September was likely the main reason the 35-year-old backstop had remained unsigned throughout the winter and the 2022 season until he struck a deal with Texas. Now presumably healthy, Ramos will settle in as organizational depth at the Triple-A level, though he could be in line for a late-season call-up if the Rangers require an additional catcher between the two options on the active roster, Jonah Heim and Meibrys Viloria.

Ramos underwent surgery Wednesday to repair his torn ACL in his left knee, James Wagner of The New York Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ramos was diagnosed with a torn ACL and sprained MCL at the end of August and was placed on the 60-day injured list as a result. The 34-year-old had already undergone two surgeries to repair his ACL in the past, and it's not yet clear when he'll be ready to return as he prepares for free agency this winter.

Ramos (knee) was placed on the injured list Tuesday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ramos was already declared out for the season after suffering a torn ACL and sprained MCL in Sunday's win over Boston. With both of Cleveland's Triple-A catchers in COVID protocol, and Roberto Perez (shoulder) still on the injured list, the club has called up Gianpaul Gonzalez from High-A Lake County to serve as Austin Hedges backup.

Ramos suffered a torn ACL and sprained MCL in Sunday's win over the Red Sox, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ramos was filling in as depth behind the dish with Roberto Perez (hand) sidelined, but he'll now be forced to miss the remainder of the season. The 34-year-old appeared in 44 games with Detroit and Cleveland this year and slashed .205/.248/.397 with eight home runs, 20 RBI and 15 runs. He faces a lengthy recovery process and is slated to become a free agent during the offseason.

Ramos has gone 2-for-21 in his last six games.

EDGE Analysis

The catcher has been unable to revitalize his career since joining Cleveland earlier in August. Ramos is slashing a meager .203/.247/.399 with eight home runs, 18 RBI and 15 runs scored through 160 plate appearances overall between Cleveland and Detroit. He'll remain in a backup role with Austin Hedges seeing most of the time behind the dish while Roberto Perez (shoulder) is on the mend.

Ramos went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Monday's 9-3 win over Cincinnati.

EDGE Analysis

The catcher has homered in both of his games with Cleveland so far, going 4-for-7 in that limited stretch. Ramos is likely to continue sharing time behind the dish with Austin Hedges while Roberto Perez (shoulder) is on the mend. For the year, Ramos has a .220/.261/.449 slash line with eight homers, 16 RBI, 14 runs scored and five doubles in 134 plate appearances between Detroit and Cleveland.

Ramos went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a pair of singles in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

After having his contract selected by Cleveland on Aug. 6, the veteran catcher who last played with the Tigers on May 23 shook off the rust with a three-hit night against his former team. His home run came off Detroit closer Gregory Soto in the ninth inning, but wasn't enough to spark a rally. With Roberto Perez on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation, Ramos figures to serve as the backup catcher while Austin Hedges grabs the lion's share of the starts.

Ramos' contract was selected by Cleveland on Friday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ramos joined Cleveland on a minor-league deal at the beginning of July, and he slashed .317/.328/.517 with three home runs, nine RBI and six stolen bases in 16 games at Triple-A Columbus. He's in line to serve as catching depth after Roberto Perez (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday.
