Hanley Ramirez (shoulder) showing improvement, still day-to-day

The news continues to improve for left fielder Hanley Ramirez. After spraining his shoulder Monday against the Rays when he ran into the left field wall down the line and missing Tuesday's game, Ramirez remains day-to-day, but he's showing signs of improvement. There's still no timetable for a return. "He continues to improve with range of motion," manager John Farrell said. "Tomorrow (Thursday) is not an unrealistic possibly to begin to swing a bat with some dry swings. We're not clear yet on when a potential return to full baseball activity level of a game just yet. Improvement, but still day-to-day." Farrell added Ramirez will travel with the team to Toronto after the game before the team goes to the West Coast next week.
