Last-minute change: Ortiz out

BOSTON -- About 20 minutes before gametime, the Red Sox announced that David Ortiz was scratched from the lineup because of tightness in his right knee.
Ortiz, you may recall, missed two games last weekend in Tampa against the Rays after he experienced soreness and swelling following a head-first dive into first base in the first game of the series at Tropicana Field.
Ortiz returned to the lineup Tuesday when the Sox began their homestand and had been 8-for-20 with a homer and four RBI in the last five games.
With Ortiz out, the Sox have a new lineup.
It features:

Jacoby Ellsbury LF
Dustin Pedroia 2B
Kevin Youkilis 1B
Manny Ramriez LF
Mike Lowell 3B
Jason Varitek C
J.D. Drew RF
Coco Crisp CF
Julio Lugo
