Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz will return to the lineup Wednesday night against the Rangers. Ortiz hasn't played since Aug. 14 because of bursitis in his right heel. The slugger ran sprints for approximately five minutes Tuesday afternoon and reported feeling no discomfort or tenderness. "I want to be in the lineup right now," Ortiz said before Tuesday's game. "I can't be watching this (stuff) anymore, but I've got to wait to see what the doctors say. I have to stay on top of it because this is something if you don't do exactly what they say it can catch up with you later on, so I don't want to be stupid."
