Rest-of-Season Projections
Won't play in Australia
Ramirez, who had previously signed a one-year deal in August with the Australian Baseball League's Sydney Blue Sox, was released by the club Monday.
ANALYSIS
The Blue Sox cited "the uncertainty of the season and the ongoing medical issue" as the reason behind the decision to cut the 48-year-old Ramirez, who was expected to serve as a player-coach in 2021. Ramirez retired from MLB in 2011 shortly after receiving a 100-game ban for testing positive for a banned substance, but he's staged multiple comeback attempts over the past decade in smaller leagues around the globe.

A calf injury last year held Ramirez to 66 games through the season's first five months with the Dodgers before the White Sox claimed him off waivers. Ramirez probably wishes he had a calf injury to blame for his ineffectiveness with the Sox. Despite the move to the AL and a hitter-friendly ballpark, he had just one home run, one double and two RBI through 69 at-bats. He did post a .420 OBP, but the power outage and his inability to field should chill his free-agent value and limit his options as a result.
