Ramirez Back Monday

If all goes well, Aramis Ramirez will be back with the Cubs on Monday when they open a 3-game series against the Atlanta Braves. Ramirez is going to play Friday, Saturday and Sunday with the Peoria Chiefs and get about 10 or 12 at-bats. If he doesn’t have a setback, he’ll most likely be in the lineup Monday night. Don’t expect Ramirez to be the offensive player he’s capable of being for a week or so. He’s been out a long time and 3 games isn’t going to be enough action to get him ready for game speed, but hopefully his presence will have an impact on some of the others.
