BOSTON — Boston Red Sox Manager Alex Cora visited David Ortiz before the team’s recent west-coast trip and said Ortiz is “in a good place” after being shot in the lower abdomen June 9.

Cora said he stopped by Ortiz’s home before the team departed for San Diego two weeks ago. He also saw Ortiz’s wife, Tiffany, at the Red Sox Foundation’s “From Fenway to the Runway” event at Fenway Park on Friday.

“He looks good,” Cora said. “He’s watching every game; he’s paying attention.”

Edwin Encarnacion and Gary Sanchez of the New York Yankees posted photos with Ortiz on Instagram on Thursday after visiting on their off day. Cora said a few members of the Red Sox also have gone to see Ortiz.

“I’m glad the boys were able to go over there. There’s a lot of guys who have stopped by throughout,” Cora said. “A lot of energy, obviously lost some weight. He’s back to eating mangu (mashed plantains) and salami, and all that good stuff. He’s good. He’s in a good place.”

Ortiz underwent three surgeries before being released from the hospital July 26. He’s been recovering at home and has yet to make his first public appearance since being shot at the Dial Bar and Lounge in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

PHILLIES: Right fielder Bryce Harper left the game against the New York Mets after being hit on the right hand by a pitch from Mets starter Steven Matz in the third inning.

Harper, batting with one out and a runner on third, was ahead in the count 1-0 when Matz’s 93 mph fastball sailed up and in on him. Harper recoiled and the ball ricocheted off his hand.

YANKEES: Outfielder Giancarlo Stanton had five plate appearances in a simulated game as he works to return this month from a knee injury.

Stanton also worked out in right field at New York’s complex in Tampa, Florida. He’s expected to take part in another simulated game Saturday.
