Aramis Ramirez could return from disabled list Monday

Brewers third baseman Aramis Ramirez could return from the 15-day disabled list Monday, which is his first eligible day to be activated, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

"I'm hoping the days off and the days before, that at least he's close to feeling like he can go out there and do everything," manager Ron Roenicke told the Journal Sentinel Thursday.

Ramirez was placed on the disabled list in early July after aggravating a knee injury that has plagued him for much of the season.
