Ramirez (elbow) received positive news after undergoing an ultrasound exam Monday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Ramirez suffered an elbow injury in August, which ended his season prematurely after he went 11-10 with a 4.15 ERA. The Angels believe he'll be able to return without having surgery. Ramirez's elbow will be looked at again in another four weeks, with the hope that he can begin throwing at that time. It appears that he's on pace to make a return for spring training, barring any major setbacks.
