Fantasy Analysis
Ortiz returned to the lineup Monday against the Tigers after missing a contest with a sore right knee, but has shown no ill effects of the injury. He has homered in two straight games and now has a six-game hitting streak (11-for-25). He has three homers and seven RBI in that span. Big Papi was a little sluggish to start the season, but his bat is finally coming around. Continue to start him in Fantasy leagues. (Updated 05/06/2008).
