--SS Hanley Ramirez has been playing through mild discomfort in his back but he isn't letting it bother his performance. He went into Sunday with a seven-game winning streak that raised his batting average to .296. He was 1-for-3 in his first three at-bats Sunday, with an RBI single that extended his streak to eight games.
--LHP Graham Taylor didn't have an impressive debut Sunday. He walked six batters in 3 2/3 innings, allowing four runs on four hits. Taylor, 24, is 2-1 with a 3.24 ERA in three starts for Double-A Jacksonville. He's plugging the rotation spot vacated by injured RHP Andrew Miller, who should be back in early May.
