Former MLB slugger David Ortiz is still recovering from being shot in the back at a bar in the Dominican Republic last month.
The Red Sox legend underwent a third surgery after experiencing complications from the gunshot wound, according to his wife, Tiffany Ortiz , in a statement issued by the team on Thursday.
The player is reportedly 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, the statement read.
