David Ortiz targeted Sunday for his return to the Red Sox, but was out of the lineup as he continues to recover from an Achilles injury. "He'll do something out there," manager Bobby Valentine said. "I'm afraid to go out and watch. I don't want him to think that I'm pushing or anything." Ortiz hasn't played since July 16 against the White Sox. He continues to have pain in his Achilles after running. "He's at the point where, if he does the full workout and doesn't feel the pain afterward, he'll be ready to go," Valentine said. "He's done the full workout a couple times, but he's felt it afterward in that specific spot. It's not just soreness, it's in that specific spot."
