David Ortiz Boston Red Sox - Injury Update

by Stephen Kersey on July 4th, 2008

David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox is slowly but surely finding his way back from his wrist injury. Recently, Ortiz went from hitting off of a tee to hitting soft tosses. The next step for Ortiz is to hit live pitching.

Ortiz is the Red Sox designated hitter so he doesn’t have to worry about injuring his wrist in the field. That said, he swings the bat with such power that the Red Sox will make sure he’s 100% before he’s given the green light to return.

Although a specific date hasn’t been set, it should be within two weeks after the All-Star Game as long as everything goes as planned.

Here is a David Ortiz video regarding the Red Sox and their season so far:
