David Ortiz - DH - Boston Red Sox
March 17, 2013 - 10:30 AM ET

David Ortiz is still feeling discomfort in his heels when he runs on the treadmill.

It could result in his scheduled batting practice session on Monday being cancelled. The Red Sox have expressed optimism that Ortiz's sore heels won't be a long-term issue, but the ailment has already dragged on longer than expected. Big Papi will begin the season on the disabled list.
