Hanley Ramirez Has Started Running Drills

Los Angeles Dodgers NewsHanley Ramirez ran for the first time with the Los Angeles Dodgers in the outfield before Wednesday’s game.

Ramirez has been out since May 4th with a hamstring injury and was projected to miss 4-6 weeks.

Fantasy Play: Ramirez appears to be healing rather quickly, on pace to return by the first week of June, fitting in with the four week timetable.

The Dodgers are in desperate need of help with the offense floundering, Don Mattingly‘s job on the line and things quickly turning into a disaster in southern California.

Ramirez could provide a boost to fantasy owners as well, but don’t expect him for at least two more weekly match-ups.

Upon his return, the Dodgers are likely to rely heavily on Ramirez’s production with Matt Kemp struggling nearly into June and Adrian Gonzalez battling a lack of power.
