Hanley Ramirez may play first base for the Boston Red Sox sooner rather than later.

Ramirez is currently on the 15-day disabled list with a sore right shoulder, but he expected to have a meeting with Boston's powers that be on Tuesday.

"I think we're going to have a meeting [Tuesday] and we're going to talk about it," he told WEEI.com. "The shoulder feels stronger. I feel better."

Ramirez has been working with Red Sox infield coach Brian Butterfield on manning the position.
