Joe Torre said Wednesday that the Inland Empire 66ers are the most likely destination for Manny Ramirez when he starts to play minor league games in preparation for his July 3 return. Ramirez is expected to begin play for Inland Empire starting with their June 25-27 series at Lake Elsinore. He would presumably then play for the 66ers during their June 28-30 home series against Rancho Cucamonga.
