Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz expects to miss about a week of action.
He has been seen in a walking boot because of bursitis in his right heel.
"I should just chill, you know, rest," Ortiz said. "I got this (walking) boot you guys saw me wearing; just got to wear it for a few days."
Ortiz said he hoped to return to the lineup before the end of the team's upcoming road trip to Kansas City and Texas.
"I think I should be playing by the end of the road trip, hopefully," Ortiz said. "Looking forward to that."
