ANAHEIM, Calif. — The latest bullpen shuffle carried Edubray Ramos across the country, and as he hugged his Phillies teammates before Wednesday’s game at Angel Stadium, the Venezuelan righthander gained an understanding of the new landscape.
“I’m happy that some of my teammates in triple A have earned the opportunity to be here as well,” Ramos said through a team translator. “But what I really want to do here is gain the confidence of the manager back and do my job.”
The Phillies like Ramos. He possesses late-inning stuff, and he returned to the majors with a late-inning role despite a five-week sojourn to triple-A Lehigh Valley.
