Ortiz will be suspended for Friday's game after losing his appeal about the incident on Apr. 20, WEEI's Rob Bradford reports. He made contact with an umpire in the game in question, so it does not come as a surprise that he lost the appeal. It's really not a big deal for Ortiz or the Red Sox, as he could have used a day off at this point given his age. Look for Allen Craig or Mike Napoli to play DH while Daniel Nava and Brock Holt presumably slot into the outfield corners.
