Suspended outfielder Manny Ramirez will be sent to the minor leagues for a week to 10 days as part of a rehabilitation assignment prior to rejoining the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Ramirez is serving a 50-game suspension for violating the league’s drug policy. He’s eligible to rejoin the Dodgers on July 3.

According to Dodgers manager Joe Torre, Ramirez has been working out on his own to stay in shape, but will soon be heading to the teams Spring Training facility in Arizona for conditioning work.

While the Dodgers are still developing a plan for his return, Torre said Ramirez would need some time in the minors to get ready to return to Los Angeles.
