The Boston Red Sox welcomed back slugger David Ortiz to the lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Ortiz has yet to appear in a game since leaving Sunday's contest versus the Seattle Mariners after fouling a pitch off his foot.

The 38-year-old designated hitter has 30 home runs this year - one shy of his most since 2010 - but owns his lowest hitting line (.265/.362/.524) in five seasons.
