Ortiz (rest) is back in the lineup Saturday against the Rangers, Scott Lauber of the Boston Herald reports. Manager John Farrell felt Ortiz needed to take a step back and work out some issues with his approach at the plate, so he sat him for the first two games of the series. Apparently, the skipper has seen sufficient improvement from Ortiz, who is just 1-for-20 in his last five games, as he will return to the three-hole in the order to face Alex "Chi Chi" Gonzalez.
