Yohan Ramirez’s Locker Removed From Dodger Stadium

Yohan Ramirez’s locker has been removed from the Dodger Stadium clubhouse, signaling that he has likely been designated for assignment.

The Dodgers need to clear a 40-man and active roster spot for left-handed pitcher Clayton Kershaw on Thursday, and it appears Ramirez has been DFA’d to do just that.

Ramirez, 29, made 27 appearances for the Dodgers this season, going 0-4 with a 5.52 ERA.

As for Kershaw, he’s returning on Thursday for the first time this season after undergoing offseason shoulder surgery to repair the glenohumeral ligaments in his shoulder. Kershaw went 13-5 with a 2.46 ERA in 2023, before struggling in his one and only postseason start.

Kershaw is just 56 strikeouts away from joining the exclusive 3,000-strikeout club.

UPDATE: Kershaw has officially been activated off the 60-day injured list. Ramirez has officially been designated for assignment. Read more here .
