Ortiz out of hospital following three surgeries

Former Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz has been released from Massachusetts General Hospital, the team confirmed Saturday.

A family source told ESPN's Enrique Rojas that Ortiz was released Friday and will be assisted by full-time nurses and visited regularly by his personal physician.

"He will continue to undergo all the treatment and rehabilitation necessary to recuperate from his recent procedures," the family source told Rojas.

Ortiz, 43, had been in the Boston hospital since June 10, one day after he was shot in the Dominican Republic.

The Red Sox on Saturday said there will be an update on his condition next week.
