DH David Ortiz told cbssporstline.com that he might miss more playing time than normal because his surgically repaired right knee continues to act up. The lefty slugger has seemed to heat up at the plate lately despite any ongoing discomfort, and is currently riding a nine-game hitting streak during which he's mashed at a .410 clip to go along with three home runs and eight RBIs. It should be noted that the intrepid Ortiz was able to play 149 games last season on a knee that required surgery in the off-season.

Ortiz hit his seventh homer of the season in Boston's 5-0 win over Detroit on Tuesday.
Advice: Ortiz, who sat out Monday with a knee injury, has been playing much better latley after a horrible start to the season. He's batting .317 with five homers and 11 RBIs in his last 10 games after hitting just .181 with two home runs in his first 21 games.
