Ramirez is back in the starting rotation

I heard he got called to Cincy yesterday???

[GOYA]

Not that I've heard. Are you thinking of Maloney?

Ramirez is scheduled to start tonight for the Bats.

I heard the announcer say that last night too but the Bats' homepage as TBD for tonight's game. I heard this from someone I believe is pretty reliable.

[batsfan]

Ramirez was at slugger field yesterday, but the courier journal game recap for last night says that Camilo Vazquez will get called up and start with the bats tonight. Ramirez is probably the first choice if dusty wants another pitcher up for tonight bullpen.

With the double header, it would make sense. Still nothing listed as far as transactions today.

According to the Reds broadcast, a move MAY be made between the double header today if its needed. Sounds like a move may not be made unless it really looks like it will be needed.

Yea they pre game stuff certainly sounded like Ramon was at the park.

[HokieRed]

Any word on Ramirez for tonight?

[GIDP]

The Reds made the following moves:

--Johnny Cueto was activated from the disabled list.

--Ramon Ramirez and Kevin Barker were promoted from Louisville.

--Matt Maloney was optioned to Carolina.

--Carlos Fisher was optioned to Sarasota.

--Laynce Nix was put on the with a bulging disc in his neck.

Since Maloney and Fisher were optioned to teams whose seasons end, they can be recalled after tomorrow when roster are expanded.

[GOYA]

Not on Ramirez specifically but Vazquez was called up to the Bats today. Somebody has to go somewhere.

edit: nm, GIDP has the scoop

Which reminds me,

What's the word on Barker's options? When he came down he was optioned down. I wouldn't have thought he had options.

Thats a very good question. I

[GIDP]

Do September callups not count as options? That might be it.

[camisadelgolf]

This is Kevin Barker's third option year. However, because his optional assignment is less than 20 days this season, an option will not be used, so he still has one left.
