Wilkin Ramirez is currently ahead of schedule in his recovery from a fractured left tibia.
Ramirez sustained the injury when he fouled a pitch off his leg in late August. He was initially ruled out from playing in the Dominican Winter League until January, but it now appears he could be on track to enjoy much more of that season. Any additional at-bats that he can get over the Winter should increase his chances of cracking the Twins roster next spring.
