37+2⁄3 innings of work. [3]

Ranaudo returned to the Portland Sea Dogs in 2013, earning bids in the All-Star Futures Game and the Eastern League All-Star Game along the way. At the end of July, he was leading the league in both WHIP (1.09) and batting average against (.204), while posting an 8–4 record and a 2.95 ERA in 19 starts, which included an 8.7 K/9 rate. He then gained a promotion to Triple-A Pawtucket Red Sox on August 2. [11]

Late in August, Ranaudo was selected to the Eastern League Year–End All-Star team and was named the circuit's Pitcher of the Year, as voted on by league managers and media members. [12]

Ranaudo was added to the Red Sox 40-man roster on November 20, 2013. [13]

Ranaudo began the 2014 season in the Pawtucket Red Sox rotation. He was selected to the 2014 International League All-Star Team but did not play due to an injury. [14]

Ranaudo was called up to the major leagues for the first time on August 1, 2014 and made his Major League Baseball debut that day in a start against the New York Yankees. In that start he collected his first career strikeout, striking out Derek Jeter, who coincidentally was his boyhood sports hero. [15] He also won the game. [16] The next day, Ranaudo was optioned back to Pawtucket, but recalled August 12.

Texas Rangers

On January 27, 2015, the Red Sox traded Ranaudo to the Texas Rangers in exchange for pitcher Robbie Ross Jr. [17] He was sent down to begin the season with Triple–A Round Rock Express on March 28, 2015. [18]

Ranaudo began the 2016 season with Triple–A Round Rock Express, and was recalled on May 6 by the Rangers, for whom he made his season debut on May 7 at Detroit, against the Tigers, entering the game in the third inning with the Rangers down 3–2. Ranaudo pitched 2+1⁄3 innings, giving up two runs on an Ian Kinsler home run in the fourth inning as Anthony Gose was on base via a walk. He would give up one other hit in that inning (a single to Miguel Cabrera). Ranaudo would appear in one more game (May 10 against the Chicago White Sox) before being optioned back to Triple-A Round Rock on May 11.

Chicago White Sox

Ranaudo was traded on May 12 to the Chicago White Sox for minor league right-handed pitcher Matt Ball. He was then optioned on May 13 to the Triple-A Charlotte Knights. Ranaudo started in the majors again for the White Sox on July 27 against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field and got his first MLB hit with a fifth inning home run. On July 28, he was reassigned to Triple-A Charlotte. During the 2016 offseason, Ranaudo was released by the White Sox.

Samsung Lions

On November 22, 2016, Ranaudo signed a one-year, $1.05 million contract with the Samsung Lions of the KBO League. [19] He became a free agent after the 2017 season.
