FORT MYERS, Fla. _ Red Sox slugger David Ortiz missed his second day of on-field activities with a sore left shoulder.

He just said it's better and he should be able to hit on Saturday.

"He's a little better," said manager Terry Francona. "In fact a lot better. We held him back one more day. I think he maybe just over did it a little bit the other day."

The first couple of days here Ortiz participated in all drills, including BP, infield, throwing and running. He felt it when he first woke up Thursday morning.

"It's sore," said Francona. "But it's nothing anyone is concerned."

Ortiz worked out inside and should be ready on Saturday.
