LOS ANGELES, USA – Former Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz has been released following 3 surgeries and 7 weeks in hospital as a result of being shot in his native Dominican Republic.
The retired legend was flown to an American hospital after being shot in the back in a bar, US sports broadcaster ESPN reported.
“David has been home since Friday,” a family source told ESPN. “At home he will be assisted by full-time nurses and will be visited regularly by his personal doctor.”
“He will continue to undergo all the treatment and rehabilitation necessary to recuperate from his recent injury and surgeries.”
