Ortiz is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals. Manager John Farrell said earlier in the day that Ortiz would not be in the starting lineup, so his absence should not come as a surprise. The Red Sox have been forced to sit either Ortiz or Mike Napoli when playing in National League parks, so it remains to be seen which player will get the nod at first base against Adam Wainwright in Thursday's series finale.
