]]> During a recent exhibition game, Manny Ramirez of the Los Angeles Dodgers aggravated a leg injury that has been bothering him as of late. Ramirez, who signed a $45 million contract earlier in the month, said he’s worried about the injury.

Right now, the plan is to see if the pain will go away. If it doesn’t, the Dodgers will perform tests to make sure there isn’t anything major wrong. At this point, Ramirez hasn’t ruled out the possibility of missing regular season games.

Ramirez got hurt in the outfield when he was playing in the field for the first time this spring. Chasing a ball into the corner, Ramirez felt a pull near his hamstring. Although the injury seems to be similar to a pulled hamstring, the Dodgers think it’s probably a tendon and not his hamstring.

Expect the Dodgers to bring him back slowly. Having a healthy Ramirez in the beginning of the season isn’t nearly as important as having Ramirez healthy heading into the postseason.
