Ortiz will not start Wednesday's game against the Giants, Tim Britton of the Providence Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager John Farrell said Ortiz will be available only as a pinch-hitter during the two-game set in San Francisco. Ortiz leads the league with 25 doubles, and Farrell suggested Ortiz's lower legs and heels could probably use some maintenance given all the baserunning.

Ortiz is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Giants, Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Sox are beginning a two-game series in San Francisco where they'll lose the DH, but Ortiz will likely be available as a pinch-hitter. Hanley Ramirez will draw the start at first base Tuesday, but it's possible Ortiz could get the call there Wednesday to get his bat back into the lineup.

Ortiz is only expected to start at first base for one game of the Red Sox's two-game series with the Giants that begins Tuesday in San Francisco, Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ortiz is still recovering from some foot soreness, and with no DH available in the series, the Red Sox will use it as an opportunity to give the 40-year-old one day of rest. The Red Sox are only scheduled to play five games during the coming week, and with Ortiz scheduled to sit out one of them, it may not make sense for those who own the veteran in shallower formats to keep him active.

Ortiz (wrist) went 1-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in Saturday's win over the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Ortiz had been plunked by an R.A. Dickey knuckleball Friday and was seen wearing a wrap around the wrist post-game, but the slugger was none the worse for wear Saturday. The two RBI put him at an MLB-leading 53.

Ortiz (wrist) is in the lineup Saturday, batting cleanup as Boston's DH.

EDGE Analysis

Although Ortiz was hit on the wrist by a pitch Friday, the veteran will be able to play through any lingering soreness and remain in the lineup Saturday. He'll be facing Marcus Stroman, a pitcher he's gone 4-for-16 against with a pair of doubles in his career.

Ortiz, who was hit on the left wrist by a pitch Friday night, said he'll be fine after being spotted with his wrist wrapped after the game, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fortunately for Ortiz, the pitch that hit him a knuckleball from R.A. Dickey, and he was able to finish the game while going 2-for-2 with a walk and the HBP. Consider him day-to-day, but it would hardly be surprising to see him back in the lineup Saturday.

Ortiz went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer against the Orioles on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Ortiz made the most of his lone hit, sending a pitch from Ubaldo Jimenez into right field for a three-run shot. Big Papi extended his hitting streak to 10 games, and he's been nothing short of impressive over that span: he's hit .439 with an impressive 1.049 slugging percentage, six homers and 17 RBI over that span.

Ortiz went 1-for-4 with a home run, a walk and a strikeout during Monday's win against Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

Ortiz has gone yard in three straight games, and he's hit four homers in the last six contests. The 40-year-old designated hitter has gone 14-for-28 (.500) over a seven-game hitting streak, and he's been one of Boston's best hitter all season long. His OPS of 1.146 leads all of baseball by a wide margin.

Ortiz (foot) is in the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles, Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ortiz was a late scratch Sunday due to a sore left foot, but it turns out the setback will only cost him the lone game, as he is back in the lineup Monday. As he regularly does, Ortiz will serve as Boston's designated hitter and hit cleanup Monday afternoon.

Ortiz (foot) expects to play in Monday's game against the Orioles, Evan Drellich of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ortiz was hit on the top of his left foot on Saturday, which was already bothering him, and is causing him to limp. He was scratched from Sunday's lineup, but thinks he'll be good to go tomorrow. The designated hitter's sore left foot would most effect his speed in the case that manager John Farrell places him in the lineup Monday.
