Red Sox sit Ortiz for third straight day (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Big Papi's big hiatus is coming to an end. David Ortiz completed his weekend off, staying out of Boston's lineup for the third consecutive day Sunday as the Red Sox finished their last West Coast swing of the season against the Seattle Mariners. Jason Bay moved up from fourth to third for Ortiz, and Rocco Baldelli was the designated hitter for the third straight game.
