MLB: Red Sox Ortiz getting eyes checked Monday


Associated Press

BOSTON — Red Sox slugger David Ortiz, who’s been battling a slump, will get his eyes checked Monday.

Manager Terry Francona said Friday that Ortiz has had dry eyes and he and the team just want to put the issue “to bed.”
Ortiz said Thursday he doesn’t believe his season-long slump has anything to do with his eyes. He has been hitting .187 with a single home run this season.
Ortiz didn’t play in Boston’s 6-3 win at Detroit Thursday. On Wednesday, he hit a two-run, bases loaded double against the Tigers.
