Boston ? David Ortiz, on the disabled list since May 31 with a torn tendon sheath in his left wrist, is expected to return to Boston’s lineup on July 25 for the opener of a series against the New York Yankees.

“I feel good,” the Red Sox designated hitter said after hitting off a pitching machine on Saturday. “I was acting like I normally do: locating, check swing, swing and a miss – stuff like that. Everything was fine. That’s all I need. Make sure there’s no pain when I’m doing that.”
