Red Sox's David Ortiz: Could get day off Sunday
Ortiz may not play in Sunday's series finale against the Yankees, Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe reports.
Analysis:
The Red Sox had hoped to have Ortiz in the lineup everyday from here on out during the regular season, but there are days when a 40-year-old athlete feels like a 40-year-old non-athlete. "Today is a bad day to be 40 years old," Ortiz said with a chuckle as he entered Fenway Park on Saturday. With Boston stretching its AL East lead to three games and facing left-hander CC Sabathia, Ortiz could sit for a brief respite Sunday.
