PHOENIX -- Manny Ramirez will be in the lineup again tonight in the Dodgers’ first-ever night game at Camelback Ranch as the team faces the Seattle Mariners.

Chad Billingsley and Mark Loretta said they still felt tightness in their groins but that their respective conditions didn’t worsen overnight. ‘It’s nothing serious, as far as I know,’ said Billingsley, who will do everything he would normally do the day after a start except run.

Jonathan Broxton returned today from the World Baseball Classic and is listed as one of the pitchers available to pitch tonight. Jason Schmidt was hit pretty hard in a Class-A game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Pitching mostly at 87 to 88 mph, Schmidt gave up two runs and six hits in three innings. He walked one and struck out three. He threw 45 pitches.

Here’s the Dodgers’ lineup for tonight’s game:

Rafael Furcal SS
Orlando Hudson 2B
Manny Ramirez DH
Andre Ethier RF
Casey Blake 3B
James Loney 1B
Juan Pierre CF
Brad Ausmus C
Jason Repko LF
Clayton Kershaw LHP
