MIAMI — An “anxious” Manny Ramirez apologized to his Dodgers teammates yesterday, the first time he was around the club since being suspended for 50 games for using a banned substance.

Ramirez used the words “I’m sorry,” said Dodgers manager Joe Torre, though many players said the apology wasn’t necessary.

“It was uncomfortable. I’ll give you that,” Torre said. “We spent some time together before we went into the meeting room and he was a little anxious. He basically went around, shook everybody’s hand. I think guys were happy to see him. I think there was a little uneasiness on both sides.”

The brief meeting took place in a conference room at the team’s waterfront hotel in South Florida before the Dodgers arrived at the Marlins’ stadium to start a three-game set.

“I think he just wanted to let his team know how sorry he is,” Torre said.

Dodgers third baseman Casey Blake said, “He knows he made a mistake. I forgive him. It’s his business.”
