The scene is big even without any real big time free agents beyond Zach Greinke and Josh Hamilton.
No discipline was announced for Greinke or Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp, both ejected along with Quentin and Hairston.
The Dodgers said Greinke was examined Friday by Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles and had a CT scan.
Both benches cleared and four players were ejected: Quentin, Greinke, Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp and teammate Jerry Hairston Jr.
Greinke seemed to be fine after a short rest, but the problem with Ramirez will linger into the season.
Rumors have circulated that Greinke could wind up with the Blue Jays, Nationals, Rangers and of course, the Yankees.
First, Greinke was diagnosed with inflammation in the back of his right elbow.
Quentin called it an "unfortunate situation, " according to MLB.com, while neither directly blaming Greinke nor taking responsibility for the fracas.
Quentin, whom Greinke had plunked twice before Thursday's game, evidently believed Greinke hit him intentionally, despite evidence to the contrary.

Dodgers: A week into the season, ace pitcher Greinke breaks his collarbone.
Los Angeles placed Greinke on the 15-day disabled list and recalled right-handed reliever Shawn Tolleson from the minors to take the roster spot.

With the additions of Zack Greinke and Shaun Marcum, the Brewers have strengthened a pitching rotation that had the third highest earned run average in the National League last year (4.58).
Greinke was hurt Thursday night in a bench-clearing brawl with the Padres that started when San Diego slugger Carlos Quentin charged the mound after he was hit on the arm by a pitch.
Mattingly, far calmer than he was in the heated aftermath of the fight, said he will wait to see the outcome of Lilly's bullpen session before making a decision on a replacement for Greinke.
After a pitch from Greinke struck Padres outfielder Carlos Quentin on his left arm, Quentin charged the mound and barreled into the Dodgers ace, sparking a melee that is sure to result in player suspensions.
