Ortiz is unlikely to start Tuesday's game after not appearing in the starting lineup against the Braves on Monday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ortiz will likely sit out both games against the Braves during a two-game Interleague series starting on Monday. The 40-year-old will earn some much deserved rest, but will be available off of the bench if needed in either contest.

Ortiz is not in the starting lineup Monday against Atlanta, Tim Britton of the Providence Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the Red Sox in Atlanta for a two-game Interleague series, Ortiz may get two days off depending on their plans for Tuesday. Hanley Ramirez is also resting Monday, leaving Travis Shaw to man first base.

Ortiz went 2-for-4 with two doubles and three RBI in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

The Boston designated hitter has had a great start to the season, hitting .295 with three home runs and 13 RBI. Ortiz isn't letting age slow him down, as he should still be a good source of power and RBI hitting in the middle of the Red Sox lineup this season.

Ortiz is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays, according to Alex Speier of The Boston Globe.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Sox are loading up on right-handed hitters against J.A. Happy and playing earlier than usual Monday due to Patriots' Day, so the veteran Ortiz will get to sit back and enjoy the festivities. Hanley Ramirez will serve as Boston's designated hitter in Ortiz's place.

Ortiz was 1-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base, and two RBI in Boston's win over Toronto on Friday night.

EDGE Analysis

Ortiz is off to a hot start, hitting .333 and driving in 10 runs. And, yes, you read that right, he also logged his first stolen base of the season. In fact, it was his first since 2013 when he swiped four bags. The batting average and runs batted in could very well continue, but the stolen base total might never become a huge fantasy asset.

Ortiz homered, his third, as part of a 2-for-4 game with three RBI in Tuesday's loss to Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

Ortiz is on fire to begin the season, sporting a .346/.393/.846 line behind the strength of seven extra-base hits, including a double to go with Tuesday's home run. Ortiz's nine RBI puts him one behind Tyler White and Prince Fielder for the American League lead.

Ortiz is not in the starting lineup Saturday, according to Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe.

EDGE Analysis

Ortiz gets the day off after reaching base safely in the first three games. Hanley Ramirez will move off first base to serve as the designated hitter against R.A. Dickey.

Ortiz homered in five at-bats in Wednesday's loss to the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

Ortiz had a notoriously unproductive spring, but has already belted two dingers in the first two games. All three of his hits thus far have been for extra bases.

Ortiz went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer, a double and a walk Tuesday against the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

Despite playing in frigid weather, Ortiz homered in the ninth-inning to put the game out of reach in the Red Sox victory. With the blast, he tied Hall of Famer Eddie Murray for 26th place on the all-time list. Although he batted only .178 during spring training, his final season is off to a great start.

Oritz, who had batted third for a stretch of games this week, was back in the cleanup role for Friday's game against the Twins, the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager John Farrell wanted to get a look at Xander Bogaerts in the 4-hole (2-for-12 in four games) and Ortiz in the 3-hole (1-for-11), but switched back Friday, noting that Bogaerts will be batting third for the time being. Ortiz, of course, has been a very productive cleanup hitter for Boston. He's just 3-for-22 in nine spring games this year, but he's been a notoriously unproductive hitter during the spring throughout his career.
