Ortiz injury update

[jacksonianmarch]

Xrays negative. Will be out for a bit. If he has trouble running after a week or so, I'd expect an MRI or CT. Tex had a similar problem last yr and it took weeks to make the final diagnosis Edited August 11, 2016 by jacksonianmarch

Get well Papi...don't want last night to be your swan song.

As a Yankee fan, I obviously want the sox to lose. But not this way. I hope he's ok

And they are waiting to get the MRI because........? Is it too expensive? The Red Sox have a history of waiting too long to get indicated diagnostic tests, resulting in delayed diagnoses and treatment. He should be getting an MRI today if he is too sore to play. Its a harmless test and could be very informative.

thanks man. might have to settle for yelling "thanks" during BP when he is hobbling around chit chatting with the players. at this point i am just hoping it doesnt rain and they play the game. hopefully we can bring some at game mojo.....

Keep your fingers crossed.

I got to see him hit one out in a win against the Rays last month and I'm hoping to see him one last time in Sept.

It would suck for Ortiz and the fans if this were it for him.

Ortiz WILL be in the lineup tonight. A bit surprising. Mookie is out.

I hope that he is wearing a shinguard
