Fifty days after he was shot in the Dominican Republic, David Ortiz says he’s feeling better — even if he isn’t 100 percent.
“I am feeling good, but know I need to do my rehab just like I did when I was recovering from injuries playing baseball,” Ortiz said in a statement Monday, asking for privacy as he continues to recover from the June 9 shooting.
“Big Papi will be back soon,” he added.
The legendary Red Sox slugger is speaking out for the first time since coming home from his extended stay at Massachusetts General Hospital.
