Enrique Rojas of ESPN reports Red Sox legend David Ortiz has been shot in the leg and hospitalized on an attempted robbery attempt in the Dominican Republic.
Fantasy Impact
His condition at the moment is unknown and the suspected shooter is in custody. We certainly hope for the best for Ortiz and his family, who was once one of the most feared sluggers in the game, as well as one of the most clutch athletes of all time.
David Ortiz went 0-for-1 with a sacrifice fly and two walks in what turned out to be his final game as the Red Sox lost to the Indians in Game 3 of ALDS.
Fantasy Impact
This is not the ending that Ortiz and Red Sox fans had hoped for. Big Papi ends a Hall of Fame career on a sour note but he will be remembered more for his clutch hitting that led the Red Sox to three world championships in his time in Boston.
David Ortiz had a rough day at the plate on Friday, going 0-for-4 as the Red Sox were shut out by Corey Kluber and a pair of relievers in Game 2 of the ALDS.
Fantasy Impact
Oritz does not want to end his career like this. He should be motivated going into Game 3 to help the Red Sox get back in the series. He has a good matchup against Indian's starter Josh Tomlin and is a worth a gamble in DFS.
David Ortiz slugged a go-ahead two-run homer to lead the Red Sox to a 5-3 victory over the Blue Jays on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Ortiz is making his last season a memorable one. He now has 38 home runs on the year and has driven in 127 runs which tie him for the lead in the American League.
David Ortiz went 3-for-5 on Sunday, hitting a double and two singles against the Tampa Bay Rays. He struck out twice.
