Sox' Ortiz to remain hospitalized
Red Sox slugger David Ortiz will remain at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston until tomorrow as a precaution and for further tests on his heart.
Manager Terry Francona had yet to speak to Ortiz this morning but did talk to team internist Larry Ronan about the designated hitter’s condition.
Ortiz felt heart palpitations earlier this month and again before Monday night’s game in Oakland, where he was a late scratch from the lineup. He then returned to Boston for evaluation.
“Larry said he’s had no more episodes. That’s good,” said Francona, who talked to his star player yesterday. “They’re going to do more testing today and tomorrow. From my understanding, he’s doing OK.” Ortiz was admitted to a hospital on Aug. 19 for a full examination and tests. Based on the results of those findings, he was cleared to return when his condition had improved.
