The
Boston Herald's Michael Silverman reports that
David Ortiz is experiencing "soreness" in the tendons in the back of his ankles. Obviously, this is not good news—although the Red Sox are 'poo-pooing' it as not related to his Achilles issues. Sounds like another crack Red Sox medical diagnosis to us. According to manager
John Farrell, the new irritation is due to the DH ramping up his running regimen in the last few days. Great.
