Nationals | Being cautious with Wilson Ramos

Doctors advised Washington Nationals C Wilson Ramos (knee) not to play in the spring game Sunday, Feb. 24, because they want to see him sliding into bases before he plays in a game. "He needs to get his at-bats. Missing half a season and no winter ball, I want to get that out of the way as early as possible," manager Davey Johnson said about Ramos. "It may take a week to 10 days for him. If a guy is running well, squatting well and doing all the things from a baseball standpoint, that's what I grade on. I'm the most critical. I never want to run a guy out there that is an injury risk."
