Ortiz sits out tonight as Sox return to N.L. park

ATLANTA -- Now that the Red Sox are back on the road in National League parks and the DH is unavailable, the team must sit a regular player every night. Tonight it's
David Ortiz on the bench because Chuck James, the Braves' starter, is left-handed.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, Ortiz will be at first base. Mike Lowell and Kevin Youkilis will split the two games at third base, with one playing and one sitting each night.
