BOSTON (AP) -Red Sox slugger David Ortiz says he is still weeks away from playing after testing his wrist by taking 25 soft swings off a batting tee.
Ortiz has been on the 15-day disabled list with a torn tendon sheath in his left wrist, an injury he sustained May 31 in Baltimore.
The designated hitter said Tuesday’s batting tee session at Fenway Park was positive and “not a setback.” Ortiz said he could not even hold a bat when he first got hurt, and is now at least able to swing slowly.
But Ortiz said he was still weeks away from taking full swings with a bat. He anticipates going on a rehab stint before rejoining the Red Sox.
