Ramírez attended United South High School in Laredo, Texas. The Tampa Bay Rays selected him in the eighth round, with the 248th overall selection, of the 2013 MLB draft.

In 2018, the Rays traded Ramírez, Justin Williams, and Génesis Cabrera to the Cardinals for Tommy Pham and international signing bonus money.[1]

The Cardinals promoted him to MLB on August 5, 2020.[2] He made his MLB debut on August 16 against the Chicago White Sox, giving up four consecutive home runs.[3] He was the ninth pitcher since at least 1901 to allow 4+ home runs in his major league debut, and the only one of those to allow the four home runs consecutively.[4]

On September 21, 2020, Ramírez was designated for assignment by the Cardinals.[5] He re-signed on a minor league deal on November 2, 2020.
