The Boston Red Sox will retire David Ortiz's No. 34 before their June 23 home game against the Los Angeles Angels.

The club had already told Ortiz toward the end of last season that his number would be retired at some point in 2017.

Ortiz's jersey will become the 11th to be retired, joining those of Bobby Doerr (No. 1), Joe Cronin (4), Johnny Pesky (6), Carl Yastrzemski (8), Ted Williams (9), Jim Rice (14), Wade Boggs (26), Carlton Fisk (27), Pedro Martinez (45) and Jackie Robinson (42).
