Ortiz (personal) remains out of the lineup Wednesday, CSNNE's Sean McAdam reports.
Ortiz is dealing with a personal matter and the Red Sox are playing in Pittsburgh, so there wouldn't necessarily be a spot for Ortiz even if he was ready to play. He should continue to be treated as day-to-day, but it's most likely Ortiz won't be back until this weekend's series in Baltimore.

Ortiz (foot) is back in the lineup Saturday against the Royals.
Ortiz took a day off Friday to rest a foot issue, but is healthy enough to return to the lineup for Saturday's contest. He will retake his spot as the designated hitter, and will look for his 100th RBI of the season, which will come the next time he drives in a run.

Ortiz is out of the lineup Friday due to a foot issue, Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe reports.
The team lists Ortiz as day-to-day, so it does not appear as though the 38-year-old is in danger of missing much additional time. Ortiz drove in a run in a 2-for-5 performance Thursday and now needs just one more to reach the 100-RBI mark for the eighth time in his career.

Ortiz (elbow/foot) is back in the lineup Wednesday in Toronto, Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe reports.
Ortiz endured a rough weekend, leaving back-to-back outings Saturday and Sunday following a hit by pitch on his left elbow and fouling a ball of his right foot, respectively. As a result, he missed the past two games, but in his return to action, he's manning DH and batting third in the order.
