The Guardians acquired right-handed pitcher Yohan Ramirez from the Seattle Mariners on Monday in exchange for cash considerations or a player to be named later.

Ramirez will be optioned to Triple-A Columbus. Reliever James Karinchak has been transferred to the 60-day injured list to make room for Ramirez.

Same approach: Andres Gimenez, with consistent approach, becoming a regular contributor in Guardians lineup

In three seasons with the Mariners, Ramirez has posted a 3.97 ERA with 71 strikeouts in 56⅔ innings. This season, he has a 7.56 ERA in 8⅓ innings. Ramirez was a Rule 5 Draft selection from the Houston Astros.

Karinchak has yet to make his season debut after being sidelined with a strained muscle in his back.
