ST. PETERSBURG -- Wilson Ramos started and batted sixth on Saturday against the Orioles, his first game since returning from knee surgery.
Ramos tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee last September while playing for the Nationals. When it happened, he was in the final week of a career year in which he batted .307 with 22 home runs and 80 RBIs.
After signing Ramos to a two-year, $12.5 million deal in December, the Rays finally get a chance to see the 2016 All-Star play.
"This team and clubhouse are obviously very excited," manager Kevin Cash said.
