Ortiz headed to DL
Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz is headed to the disabled list with a sore right heel.
Ortiz was expected to play against the Tampa Bay Rays but was a late scratch from the lineup.
The team said that Ortiz is out indefinitely and there is some concern that it could be a long DL stay.
Ortiz ripped the ball on the team’s recent road trip, so the pain wasn’t affecting him much at the plate.
With Ortiz out of the lineup, expect Jed Lowrie to see more playing time.
