David Ortiz had to undergo a third surgery this week because of complications from the gunshot wound he suffered in the Dominican Republic on June 9.
The Boston Red Sox issued a statement on behalf of Ortiz's wife, Tiffany, about the operation:
"Earlier this week, David underwent a third surgery for complications resulting from his gunshot wound. The operation was performed by Dr. David King at Massachusetts General Hospital. David is recovering well and is in good spirits.
"We continue to be incredibly appreciative of the kindness and compassion shown to David and to our entire family during this difficult time.
