Rays 7, Red Sox 6 -- Ortiz ahead of schedule in comeback
07:11 AM EDT on Thursday, July 3, 2008
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- A few days ahead of schedule, David Ortiz took some swings at balls tossed to him Tuesday, and will do so again today in New York before taking tomorrow off.
Ortiz is hoping he can start hitting in the batting cage as early as next week, when the Sox return from their three-city, 10-game road trip.
On Monday, Ortiz ruled himself out of the All-Star Game, and the Sox are hoping he might be able to return to their lineup sometime in the third week of July.
