Ramirez Returns to Lineup

Manny Ramirez, who missed Saturday night's game because of a sore left wrist, is back in the starting lineup today, a welcome addition because manager Terry Francona is sitting the team's other big bopper, David Ortiz, with imposing left-hander Randy Johnson starting for the Diamondbacks.

Ramirez was hit by a pitch on the wrist during Friday night's game.

"He's good enough to play," said Francona. "In any situation it's good to have him in there. And with who's pitching for them, he's obviously a big bat in the lineup."
