PORTLAND, MAINE (AP) -Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz singled twice, walked, and flied out Monday night in his first of three rehab appearances for the Double-A Portland Sea Dogs.
Ortiz went 2-for-3 in his fourth minor league game since he was sidelined on May 30 because of a partial tear of the sheath that surrounds the tendon in his left wrist.
“I want to see pitches. I know my hand is fine right now. Everything is coming out pretty good,” said Ortiz, who helped Portland beat the Connecticut Defenders 8-2. “When you see pitches, that’s when you really get your timing that you want to have.”
Ortiz is expected to return to the Red Sox on Friday for the beginning of a nine-game home series with New York, Los Angeles and Oakland.
