David Ortiz took about 25 swings this afternoon at balls on a tee and reported no discomfort. But he’s still several weeks away from returning to the Red Sox lineup.
“I think I’m another few weeks, maybe three weeks, before I start swinging (at live ptiching), Ortiz said after the workout.
“It’s just weak,” he said of his wrist, which has been immobilized since June 1 to allow a torn sheath around a tendon to heal.
He could be ready to start a rehab assignment somewhere around the All-Star break in mid-July.
