News and Notes

Ortiz homered in Boston's 4-1 win over Atlanta on Friday night. Advice: Ortiz continued to show signs of bouncing back from his miserable start. Big Papi is hitting .333 over his last 17 games, with seven homers and 14 RBIs, though he's still batting just .218 overall. |

Ortiz went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in the Red Sox' win over the Braves Friday. Recommendation: The home run was his eighth of the year, but his seventh since June 6. He is also batting .333 with 14 RBI in those 17 games. He got the start at first Friday, and he should do so for the rest of the weekend with Kevin Youkilis subbing for Mike Lowell at third. That will mean five games played at first, which may be enough to qualify him there in some leagues. |

DH David Ortiz continued to make his way back up the hitting lineup, and Sox manager Terry Francona placed his surging slugger in the cleanup spot in Thursday night's loss to the Washington Nationals. Ortiz has also played two consecutive defensive games at first base during the interleague series vs. Washington, and has appeared at ease working around the bag. Francona has indicated that the plan with Ortiz -- in interleague matchups when Boston has a comfortable lead -- is to replace him defensively with 1B Mark Kotsay once the later innings arrive. |
