Chicago White Sox left fielder and Dominican Republic native Eloy Jimenez told reporters he is scared to return to his home country after David Ortiz was shot Sunday night.
"Now, you cannot trust nobody there," he said. "When you see one of the best players—one of the best Dominicans we had—get shot like that, it's scary for everybody right now."
Anyi Lizardo, Amir Vera and Eliott C. McLaughlin of CNN reported Ortiz was shot in a nightclub in Santo Domingo and was placed in intensive care following surgery. His media assistant, Leo Lopez, said portions of his intestines and gallbladder were removed.
