CHICAGO -- Dogged by lower body injuries each of the past two seasons, Brewers third baseman Aramis Ramirez hopes the current tightness in his left hamstring proves only a minor annoyance. He missed a second straight start Saturday.
"I didn't play [Friday], I won't play today but I'm looking forward to being in the lineup tomorrow," Ramirez said on Saturday morning.
Ramirez tweaked the hamstring on a Billy Hamilton bunt Tuesday in Cincinnati.
He missed about a month during the first half of last season with a strained left hamstring. In 2013, Ramirez had two separate month-long stints on the DL because of left knee injuries.
