Red Sox's David Ortiz: Likely to see limited time Thursday

Ortiz will likely be limited to two at-bats Thursday against the Yankees, Tim Britton of the Providence Journal reports.

Analysis:

Ortiz will play Thursday, but not for the entirety of the game. The club wants to have their slugger get some rest before returning to Boston for his final regular-season series at Fenway Park. Ortiz has continued his dominant season, as he's posted a .297/.368/.574 line with seven home runs and 24 RBI over the last 30 games.
