David Ortiz returned to the disabled list because of his troublesome right Achilles, but isn't ready to call it a season.

Ortiz was scheduled to receive a platelet-rich plasma injection on Monday.

"If everyone felt, if he had that desire and the medical staff thought that it was the best thing for his career, that would definitely be done," manager Bobby Valentine said of shutting Ortiz down.

"But with the meeting of the minds, with David wanting to get back in uniform and the medical staff believing that there's a chance that he could, we figured that's the best way to go."
