David Ortiz received a friendly visit in Boston on Thursday as Yankees Gary Sanchez and Edwin Encarnacion met with the former Red Sox slugger during his rehab after he was wounded in a shooting in the Dominican Republic on June 9.
Ortiz posted photos with Sanchez and Encarnacion on Thursday before New York and Boston squared off for a three-game series at Fenway Park. Ortiz, Sanchez and Encarnacion are all from the Dominican Republic, with both Ortiz and Sanchez hailing from Santo Domingo.
"The way I see he is right now, I am very happy for him," Encarnacion told MLB.
