Red Sox give DH Ortiz day off

Apr 13, 2008 - 10:03 PM BOSTON (Ticker) -- Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz will not be in the lineup Sunday when the team battles the New York Yankees.

The All-Star slugger is in the midst of an 0-for-17 slump and has just three hits in 43 at-bats this season (.077).

Manny Ramirez will take Ortiz's customary spot at DH and Jacoby Ellsbury will start in left field for the Red Sox.

No one has shouted yet.
Be the first!
