Aramis Ramirez in third consecutive game

Brewers third baseman Aramis Ramirez is in the lineup for a third consecutive game for the first time in 11 days, MLB.com reports.

Ramirez's bat has been excellent -- .323/.405/.538 -- when in the lineup, but he has only played 20 games this year and has been receiving regular days off since a return from a knee injury earlier in the month. The Brewers' staff has suggested the injury will linger for a significant portion of the season, but perhaps this start means he's getting closer to a more regular playing schedule.
