OF Manny Ramirez finally returned from his 50-game suspension on Friday night, starting in left field for the Dodgers at San Diego. Ramirez was lifted after the top of the sixth inning, just after he popped out to cap an 0-for-3 performance at the plate that also included a walk. With a day game on tap for Saturday, Dodgers manager Joe Torre presumably didn't want to push it with Ramirez, who hadn't played in a major-league game since May 7, and the Dodgers were leading by a comfortable five runs at the time Torre inserted Juan Pierre in left field and removed Ramirez from the game. |

Ramirez went 0-for-3 in his return to the Dodgers' lineup Friday. He did not hit the ball hard, according to the Associated Press. Recommendation: He drew a walk in his first at-bat, but the balls with which he made contact barely left the infield. He left after three at-bats with the Dodgers in charge of a 6-1 lead. |

Ramirez's suspension for violating baseball's drug policy ended Friday and he was set to play for the Los Angeles Dodgers against the San Diego Padres. Advice: Ramirez's ban was based on evidence he used human chorionic gonadotropin, a fertility drug that's banned by baseball, a person familiar with the suspension told The Associated Press after the suspension was announced on May 7, speaking on condition of anonymity because those details were not released. HCG is popular among steroid users because it can mitigate the side effects of ending a cycle of the drugs. |
