HBT: Ortiz says he's ready to rejoin Red Sox

David Ortiz homered this afternoon in a Triple-A game and declared his minor-league rehab assignment over, telling Tim Britton of the Providence Journal: ?I think I go back to the big team tomorrow. ? It?s time.?

Ortiz and the Red Sox have targeted Friday as his return date for a while now, but some recent heel soreness put that in question briefly. Ortiz went 4-for-18 overall on his rehab stint and indicated that he?ll need occasional days off, but feels he?s ready to hit. His last MLB game was August 24 and he?s played just one MLB game since mid-July.

Boston has primarily used Jonny Gomes and Daniel Nava at designated hitter, with Mike Napoli also making a pair of starts there. Ortiz?s return likely means Jackie Bradley Jr. will head back to Triple-A and Gomes and Nava will split time in left field.
