Ramos donned catching equipment and threw to the bases, caught a bullpen, and took blocking drills. When he wasn't wearing the tools of ignorance, Ramos hit against the batting machine, peppering the outfield with line drives. He also took batting practice earlier in the week.
"I'm really happy for all I did today," Ramos said. "I'm getting closer. That's what I need to do. All those little things help me to stay strong and ready to do something else."
Earlier Ramos told reporters that he thought he would begin a rehab assignment around Sunday. He did not back away from that estimate, noting that he will likely head to the team's training facility in Port Charlotte to participate in some extended spring training games before transitioning into his rehab assignment.
