Phillies designated RHP J.C. Ramirez for assignment.

The move clears the way for the newly-signed Chad Durbin on the 40-man roster. Ramirez, who was acquired from the Mariners in the Cliff Lee deal, was moved to the bullpen last season and posted a 4.01 ERA and 52/31 K/BB ratio over 67 1/3 innings between Double- and Triple-A. The 24-year-old could draw interest on waivers.
