Edubray Ramos returned from the minors on Friday afternoon as the Phillies begin to put the finishing touches on the bullpen they will ride for the final stretch of the season.
The Phillies began August by activating Ramos from the disabled list and immediately optioning him to triple A. The righthander had a sub-2.00 ERA and had been effective in relief, yet he was headed to the minors. That was a luxury of finishing July with the best bullpen in baseball.
Ramos had a 1.91 ERA in 39 appearances with 33 strikeouts and 13 walks in 33 innings before being placed on the disabled list with a strained left patella tendon.
