NewsvineBoston designated hitter Ortiz sprains left wrist
Designated hitter David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox left Saturday's game against the Baltimore Orioles in the ninth inning after sustaining a left wrist sprain while fouling off a pitch.
X-rays were negative and Ortiz is listed as day to day, though Ortiz said after Boston's 6-3 victory that he doubted he would play Sunday.
"I don't think so. It's sore," Ortiz said.
The injury occurred when Ortiz, who was 2-for-3 with his 13th home run, a sacrifice fly and two RBIs, fouled off a 3-1 Dennis Sarfate pitch.
"I feel that pop right away when I swung. ... I think I maybe sprained something right there and it's a little sore. Hopefully, it'll go away soon," Ortiz said.
Following the foul strike, Ortiz stepped out of the batter's box and flexed his hand a couple of times, in obvious discomfort. After Ortiz conferred briefly with home plate umpire Bob Davidson, Boston manager Terry Francona and a trainer emerged from the dugout to check on Ortiz.
Ortiz removed his batting glove for the examination and was then taken out of the game. Sean Casey replaced him and flew out to left.
