Red Sox manager Bobby Valentin wouldn't rule out the possibility of David Ortiz (Achilles) returning from the disabled list when first eligible. Ortiz shed his protective boot earlier this week and was cleared for live batting practice Friday. Its clear he's making progress, but we'll know more about his return to the Red Sox once he begins running exercises. Cody Ross, Pedro Ciriaco, and Daniel Nava will continue to see regular playing time at DH in the short-term.
