Athletic has some notes on the rehab front. Sixto threw his first bullpen. Now they are saying they hope to have him back for the playoffs though. If not then instructional league. I can't imagine they would send him to the AZ league or even let him pitch at home in the Dominican League from those cautious comments.

Ramos will DH today. Off day Monday with a decision on Tuesday to come. Sounds like they expect him back quickly, perhaps by Thursday or Friday and since he will not need to play every day at first they can ease him in. That comment makes me think they might consider having 3 catchers for a week or two after the double-header though that would mean sticking with a 5-man bench for a bit. They could conceivably stick with a 5-man bench the rest of the way by rotating the 10-day reliever assignments strategically.

David Wright--yeah, that guy--will reportedly be in the lineup for St. Lucie against the Threshers.

Ramos with a pair of 2Bs in his first two plate appearances. Wonder if he is back for the DH on Thursday if not even the Red Sox series.

[phillychuck]

Ramos now 3/3 with 3 2B. If only we can get Joe Cavallaro to pitch for our opponents in the big leagues!

[Squire]

I'd put both Deivi Grullon and Rodolfo Duran in my top 15 easy

[schooldoc]

Ramos has only caught 5 innings, so I would think the Phils would like to see him catch a 9-inning game with no problems before activating him.

I think Thursday is realistic if all goes well.
