David Ortiz (Achilles) is "starting to feel better" but was unable to run or hit Wednesday as originally hoped.
Ortiz will continue to be shut down from baseball activities for the next few days. "The thing is, every time I was doing some running, I was getting sore," Ortiz said. "That's not what we're looking for. We're looking to take a step forward instead of a step back. Now we're going through some things and I'm starting to feel better." There's obviously no timetable for his return, with Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine saying he has "no idea about David coming back. I pray that he is, this year and next."
