Pregame Notes, Aug. 10

-- David Ortiz, who had a cortisone shot in his ailing left shoulder on Wednesday in Anaheim, is back in the starting lineup tonight. Ortiz, who did not play Wednesday night and had the benefit of an extra day of rest yesterday because of the team's scheduled day off, took early batting practice today and told manager Terry Francona he was ready to return to the starting lineup.

-- Eric Hinske, who missed the series with the Angels because of the death of his grandmother and the birth of his first child, rejoined the team. Brandon Moss, who had been called up from Pawtucket to take Hinske's place on the roster, was returned to the PawSox.

-- J.D. Drew is not in the starting lineup against left-hander Erik Bedard. He is replaced in right field by Wily Mo Pena, who is 5 for 9 in his career against Bedard.
