Ramos (knee) is still aiming to return to the lineup as a designated hitter during sometime in May, although he won't rush his rehab to meet this goal, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reports earlier in the week suggested that Ramos wouldn't be ready to play at all until July, but the All Star backstop appears to be more optimistic than others in the organization. His timetable will likely become clearer as he progresses further in his rehab process, however, so only time will tell which timetable is more reasonable.
