Red Sox placed DH David Ortiz on the 15-day disabled list with a right Achilles tendon injury. Ortiz has been dealing with the heel issue for much of the second half and could be shut down for the rest of the season if a week of treatment doesn't free him of his discomfort. The veteran slugger was batting .318/.415/.611 with 23 home runs and 60 RBI through 90 games played.
