Marlins Make Post-Deadline Roster Adjustments, Recall Agustin Ramirez

The Miami Marlins are turning to a handful of roster moves as the season turns over into its post-deadline phase, highlighted by a return for catcher Agustin Ramirez. According to reports, Ramirez is being recalled to the big leagues as part of Tuesday’s set of changes, giving Miami added depth behind the plate for the stretch run.

Ramirez’s path back to the majors is being framed as one piece of a broader recalibration. FishOnFirst writer Kevin Barral reported that the Marlins plan to reintroduce Ramirez to the active roster, with the move tied to other personnel decisions that open playing time windows across multiple spots.

Miami is also activating right-hander Josh Ekness from the 60-day injured list. The activation matters because 60-day returns are often the type of transaction that can change both the bullpen’s internal pecking order and the team’s ability to cover innings without dipping into less experienced options. In Barral’s report, Ekness is expected to take Dax Fulton’s place in the bullpen.

For the bullpen picture, the operational detail is straightforward: Fulton’s roster spot is the one being replaced by Ekness. While the report does not spell out the underlying on-field reasons beyond the roster mechanics, the practical effect is that Miami is adjusting its relief group through activation rather than through a new acquisition.

There is also additional 40-man roster reshaping described in the same reporting. Barral indicated that right-hander Jack Ralston had his contract selected, and that he had previously been optioned to Triple-A. The way the moves are described suggests Ralston is taking over one of the Marlins’ remaining openings on the 40-man roster as part of the same transaction package.

Putting the pieces together, Miami’s activity reads like a standard post-deadline roster cleanup, but with a clear emphasis on getting players back who have been working their way through long injury timelines or time in the minors. The next questions for fans and evaluators are who settles into the most reliable late-inning roles once Ekness is fully integrated, and how quickly Ramirez can establish a consistent defensive and game-calling rhythm.

For viewers watching the next few days, the roster details will be the tell: whether Ramirez becomes a regular behind the plate, and whether Ekness’s usage pattern resembles a true bullpen option or a more cautious ramp-up role after his 60-day absence.
