HBT: Sox's Ortiz sent for MRIs on both heels

Brian McPherson of the Providence Journal reports that David Ortiz has been sent for an MRI on both of his heels. The veteran slugger has experienced some soreness in his legs while running this week, so Red Sox manager John Farrell said that the team just wants to ?rule anything out.?

Ortiz was limited to five games after the All-Star break last year due to a right?Achilles injury and underwent ultrasound treatment in October. Farrell told Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald earlier this week that the soreness was more generalized rather than directly related to the Achilles injury, but they believe it was caused by him ramping up his running program. He hasn?t been ruled out for Opening Day yet, but that could change depending upon the MRI results.

Ortiz, 37, batted .318/.415/.611 with 23 home runs, 60 RBI and a 1.026 OPS in 90 games last year. He received a two-year, $26 million contract from the Red Sox in November.
