Ortiz is not in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Dodgers, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports. The Boston Herald indicates that he was removed from Saturday's game in the sixth inning due to general stiffness.

EDGE Analysis

Ortiz will get another day off after the 40-year-old got the start at first base for the first time this season Saturday. In his absence, Travis Shaw will start at first base and bat cleanup with no designated hitter available against the National League opponent. Ortiz will now prepare to rejoin the lineup Tuesday when Boston hosts the Yankees.
