Rosso (undisclosed) returned from the 7-day injured list Saturday and made his season debut for Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, striking out one and issuing two walks over a scoreless inning of relief.
Rosso joined the Tigers on a minor-league deal in March, but he never arrived in time for spring training after experiencing visa issues. Triple-A Toledo then placed him on the 7-day IL on April 13, though it's unclear if he was made inactive on account of needing time to build up or due to a legitimate injury. Regardless, Rosso finally made his 2022 debut over the weekend, and he'll look to cobble together some quality appearances for Toledo as he attempts to earn a call-up to the majors. The 25-year-old right-hander previously made 14 big-league appearances with the Phillies between the 2020 and 2021 seasons.

Tigers' Ramon Rosso: Loses out on roster spot
Rotowire
The Tigers reassigned Rosso to their minor-league camp Monday.
Detroit cut Rosso and Wily Peralta to reduce their group of players at big-league camp to 40, after neither pitcher had reported to camp while awaiting work visas, according to Evan Woodbery of MLive.com. As a reliever, Rosso won't need much time to build up once the visa issue is resolved and he arrives in the United States, but he'll likely be sidelined for the start of Triple-A Toledo's season.

Tigers' Ramon Rosso: Joins Detroit
Rotowire
Rosso signed a minor-league contract with the Tigers on Monday.
Rosso should get the chance to compete for a spot in the Tigers' Opening Day bullpen, but his status as a non-roster invitee means he's a more likely candidate to begin the season at Triple-A Toledo. The 25-year-old right-hander made 14 big-league appearances with the Phillies between the past two seasons, logging a 6.11 ERA over 17.2 innings.

Phillies' Ramon Rosso: Goes back to Lehigh Valley
Rotowire
The Phillies optioned Rosso to their alternate training site in Lehigh Valley on Wednesday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
After getting a call-up Tuesday to replace Damon Jones in the bullpen, Rosso will cede his spot on the active roster to another long-relief option in Spencer Howard one day later. Rosso covered 1.1 scoreless innings (14 pitches) during Tuesday's 10-7 loss to the Giants, and he might not have been available for Wednesday's series finale.

Phillies' Ramon Rosso: Moves up to big club
Rotowire
The Phillies recalled Rosso from their alternate site Tuesday, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
He'll join the bullpen as a replacement on the active roster for right-handed reliever Damon Jones, who was optioned to the alternate site following Monday's 2-0 loss to the Giants. Rosso made seven appearances for the big club in 2020, giving up seven earned runs while striking out 11 over 9.2 innings.

Phillies' Ramon Rosso: Won't make Opening Day roster
Rotowire
Rosso was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Rosso looked like he had a decent shot at breaking camp as a long reliever but won't get to fill that role right away. It doesn't seem to be his spring performance that will keep him off the roster, as he's struck out five and walked two in five scoreless innings. He could potentially be stretched out as a starter in the minors with the goal of serving as rotation depth this season.

Phillies' Ramon Rosso: Recalled by Phillies
Rotowire
Rosso was recalled by the Phillies on Monday.
Rosso served as the 29th man during Friday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays, and he'll reclaim a role in the Phillies' bullpen after Heath Hembree (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday. Rosso has made six appearances (one start) this season in his first taste of major-league action, and he's recorded a 7.88 ERA and 2.13 WHIP over eight innings during that time.

Phillies' Ramon Rosso: Joins team for doubleheader
Rotowire
Rosso was added to the Phillies' active roster as the 29th man for Friday's doubleheader against Toronto.
The Phillies are set to go with a bullpen game for the nightcap, so Rosso could pitch there if not called upon in the day's first game. The 24-year-old hasn't impressed in the first eight innings of his big-league career, allowing seven earned runs while posting a 9:8 K:BB.

Phillies' Ramon Rosso: Moves down to alternate site
Rotowire
The Phillies optioned Rosso to their alternate training site Monday.
As expected, Rosso was cast off the 28-man active roster after serving as the Phillies' 29th man in Sunday's doubleheader with the Marlins. He ended up starting the first game of the twin bill, taking the loss while giving up two runs on two hits and three walks over 2.1 innings.

Phillies' Ramon Rosso: Starting Sunday's Game 1
Rotowire
Rosso will serve as the 29th man for Sunday's doubleheader against the Marlins and will start Game 1, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
The 24-year-old also served as the extra player in Friday's doubleheader, though he didn't see the field. Rosso has appeared in five games this season and has allowed five runs on seven hits with six strikeouts and five walks, so he's unlikely to pitch more than a couple innings.

Phillies' Ramon Rosso: Optioned to alternate site
Rotowire
Rosso was optioned to the Phillies' alternate training site Thursday.
He gave up four runs over three innings in his last two appearances, so the Phillies will bring up fresh arms in Cole Irvin and Reggie McClain, who was activated from the injured list. Rosso could return to the majors later this summer.

Phillies' Ramon Rosso: Joins Opening Day roster
Rotowire
Rosso will be a part of the Phillies' Opening Day roster after his contract was selected Thursday.
Rosso struggled to a 5.50 ERA in 14 Triple-A starts last season but evidently impressed enough in camp to earn a job. If he throws many innings for the Phillies this season, they'll likely come in a low-leverage relief role.

Phillies' Ramon Rosso: Part of player pool
Rotowire
Rosso will be part of the Phillies' 60-man player pool this season.
Rosso breezed through every minor-league level with fairly strong numbers until reaching Triple-A Lehigh Valley last season, where he stumbled to a 5.50 ERA in 14 starts. He seems to still need a bit more seasoning in the minors, though he may make his big-league debut at some point this season anyway due to the lack of minor-league games.
