Red Sox's David Ortiz: Gets a day off Sunday

Ortiz is out of the lineup Sunday against the Yankees, Evan Drellich of the Boston Herald reports.

Analysis:

Ortiz has served as Boston's DH every day that position has been available since Aug. 25. The veteran previously hinted at a day off Sunday, and manager John Farrell will concur, instead starting Travis Shaw at first base. The move will also give fellow veteran Hanley Ramirez a day off from playing the field, as he'll move to the DH role for the evening contest.
