Ortiz (shin) is in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees, Scott Lauber of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

A foul ball off the shin Wednesday provided a very real scare -- Ortiz could not put weight on the leg and required assistance coming off the field -- but X-rays were negative and he won't even end up missing a start. Ortiz is batting .215/.304/.354 since the All-Star break and hasn't gone deep since July 26, but he still ranks first in the AL with a 1.012 OPS for the season.
