Manager Joe Torre said Tuesday he still plans for Manny Ramirez to make his Spring debut Thursday in an exhibition against WBC qualifier Team Korea. Torre said it wasn’t yet determined if Ramirez will play left field or be the designated hitter.

Torre also said Hong-Chih Kuo and Cory Wade are on schedule to make their first “A” game appearance Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Both have been protected with a slow schedule while nursing a tender elbow and shoulder, respectively.

Rehabbing pitchers Hong-Chih Kuo and Travis Schlichting threw 12-pitch scoreless innings Monday in a morning “B” game against the White Sox. Kuo, expected to be a key part of the Dodgers’ bullpen, has been babying his delicate elbow. Schlichting, a highly regarded young right-hander, has been slowed by back spasms. Ramon Troncoso started the game and allowed two runs in two innings. — Ken Gurnick

Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax, a regular Spring Training visitor to Dodgertown as a Vero Beach resident, made his first appearance this Spring Training at the franchise’s new Camelback Ranch-Glendale complex, visiting with manager Joe Torre before the club’s morning team meeting. Torre said Koufax was in the Phoenix area to visit his wife’s daughter and he would not be working with any of the club’s pitchers, as he often did in Florida. While Torre conducted the team meeting, Koufax had breakfast with former teammate Maury Wills in the players dining room and was interrupted by talk-show host Larry King, who was touring the facility with his young son and five of the son’s Little League teammates. — Ken Gurnick

Third baseman Casey Blake, who strained a groin muscle doing sprints after the Dodgers’ first Spring game Feb. 25, finally returns to the lineup Saturday as designated hitter. Blake was re-signed to a three-year contract during the winter. — Ken Gurnick
