Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Saturday.

Ramirez was called up by Cleveland on Thursday, and he allowed a run on three hits and a walk while striking out one in two innings during Friday's game against the Red Sox. However, he'll head back to the minors after Tanner Tully was called up Saturday.

Munoz secured his fifth hold in a win over the Angels on Friday, firing 1.2 scoreless innings during which he allowed a walk and recorded three strikeouts.

The fireballing Munoz was dominant except for the one free pass he issued, ringing up at least three strikeouts for the fourth consecutive appearance. Munoz has increasingly developed into a trusted higher-leverage option for manager Scott Servais, as he's carrying a 2.03 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 12.8 K/9 across the 13.1 innings covering his last 12 appearances.

Borucki secured his fourth hold in a win over the Angels on Friday, firing a perfect sixth inning during which he recorded two strikeouts.

Borucki was pretty close to perfect, getting his three outs on 12 pitches, nine which found the strike zone. The southpaw has now contributed four scoreless appearances in his last five trips to the mound, and he's furnished a 4.76 ERA and a pair of holds since making his Mariners debut June 6.

Barlow allowed a hit and struck out two in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Friday's 3-1 win over the Athletics.

Barlow blew a save in his previous appearance, but he was back to being solid Friday. He's 4-for-5 in save chances while allowing four runs across 11 innings in June. The right-hander has a 2.25 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 31:10 K:BB in 32 innings overall while logging nine saves, four holds and two blown saves through 28 appearances. He continues to see more of the save chances than Josh Staumont, who hasn't closed out a game since May 17.

Perez struck out one in 1.1 perfect innings to earn a hold in Friday's 4-1 win over the White Sox.

Perez is enjoying a solid June, allowing two runs over seven innings with a win, a save and five holds in nine appearances. The southpaw has navigated trouble effectively, as his tiny 1.23 ERA stands in contrast to a shaky 1.45 WHIP and 21:11 K:BB through 22 innings overall. With a 3.43 FIP, there's likely some room for regression, but he's added nine holds and a 4-0 record, so he'll continue to see high-leverage work until hitters take advantage of his generosity.

Baker struck out one in 1.1 perfect innings to earn a hold in Friday's 4-1 win over the White Sox.

Baker has yet to post more than three consecutive scoreless outings this season. The mixed results have continued in June, where he's posted a 4.50 ERA and 1.25 WHIP across eight innings. For the season, the right-hander has a 5.34 ERA, 1.47 WHIP, 27:11 K:BB, 2-3 record, two holds and a blown save threw 28.2 innings. He'll likely remain in mostly low-leverage assignments, especially since few other Orioles relievers have struggled in 2022.

Krehbiel (3-3) threw 2.1 perfect innings and struck out three to earn the win Friday over the White Sox.

Krehbiel followed starter Austin Voth, who lasted three innings. Krehbiel was at the front end of six perfect relief innings from the Orioles' bullpen. This was the right-hander's second appearance since he was activated from the injured list, and he's not allowed a baserunner in three innings in that span. For the season, he has a 2.42 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 20:8 K:BB in 26 innings. He's added five holds and could see some mid-to-high-leverage work going forward.

Lopez pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 4-1 win over the White Sox.

Lopez pitched the sixth and final perfect inning of relief in a signature performance for the Orioles' bullpen Friday. He's converted 10 save chances in a row while allowing two unearned runs, five hits, one walk and two hit batters with 15 strikeouts in that 16-inning span. With a 0.75 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 36:13 K:BB across 36 innings, Lopez has ran with the closer role in Baltimore, and the team's 33-39 record has allowed him more save chances than other relievers have had in the recent past.

Manager Brandon Hyde said Voth will stay in the rotation following his start Friday versus the White Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. He allowed one run on a hit and two walks while striking out three in three innings in a no-decision.

Voth has started his last two appearances. though the three-inning outing Friday was his longest of the year. He threw 47 pitches (26 strikes) against the White Sox, so he'll still need to build up his pitch count over his next few turns through the rotation. He last functioned as a starter in 2020, though he's yet to have much major-league success regardless of role. The right-hander has a 7.81 ERA, 1.92 WHIP and 28:10 K:BB in 27.2 innings between the Orioles and the Nationals this year, though he's been much more effective since arriving in Baltimore a few weeks ago. He's lined up for a road start in Seattle next week.

Soto tossed a scoreless inning of relief with two strikeouts in Friday's 5-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

It wasn't a save situation, but Soto was still called on to shut the door, and he looked sharp. Since allowing three runs and blowing a save back on June 16, the lefty has now logged consecutive scoreless appearances. Soto has his ups and downs, though he's mostly been solid with a 2.77 ERA and 13 saves in 15 opportunities this season.
