LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired pitcher Yohan Ramírez from the New York Mets for cash on Monday.
The 29-year-old right-hander was designated for assignment last week. He started the season with the Mets, allowing seven runs in 5 1/3 innings, and was claimed by Baltimore on April 13.
Ramírez returned to the Mets on May 6 and threw three scoreless innings before being designated. Overall, he is 0-1 with a 6.91 ERA in 14 1/3 innings.
The Dominican Republic native has spent parts of five seasons in the majors with Seattle, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, the Chicago White Sox, New York and Baltimore. He is a combined 6-5 with a 4.29 ERA and 145 strikeouts in 138 1/3 innings.
Ramírez arrived in Los Angeles before Monday night's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. To make room for Ramírez, the Dodgers optioned right-handed pitcher Landon Knack to Oklahoma City. They also designated RHP Eduardo Salazar for assignment off the 40-man roster.
