Mariners' Rangel Ravelo: Removed from big-league camp
Rotowire
The Mariners reassigned Ravelo to minor-league camp Saturday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
After signing an NRI deal with Seattle in the offseason, Ravelo appeared in just two games and logged one hit in four trips to the plate. Ravelo slashed .310/.428/.473 with 35 RBI with the Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate last year, and he may see time in the big leagues this season if his bat stays hot in the minors.

Ravelo signed a minor-league contract with the Mariners on Nov. 16.

Padres' Rangel Ravelo: Reassigned to MiLB camp
Rotowire
Ravelo was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Padres on Friday.
The 30-year-old first baseman slashed .276/.405/.448 in the spring and will return to Triple-A, where he boasted a 1.262 OPS in 2021. If Ravelo can maintain a similar level of success in the minors, there's a solid chance he returns to the big leagues at some point this season.
Ravelo signed a minor-league contract Wednesday with the Padres which includes an invitation to major-league spring training.
Ravelo spent most of the last two years in Nippon Professional Baseball, and his numbers were less than spectacular in 2022 with the Orix Buffaloes. The 30-year-old first baseman and corner outfielder will probably be nothing more than minor-league depth for San Diego in 2023.
