ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz was out of the starting lineup for the second consecutive game Sunday with a bruised right knee.
The Rays earned a three-game sweep against Boston with a 3-0 victory Sunday.
Ortiz was hurt while diving into first base attempting to beat out a double-play grounder in the final inning of Friday's 5-4, 11-inning loss to Tampa Bay.
"He's sore," Red Sox manager Terry Francona said.
Ortiz is undergoing treatment for the injury, which is not considered serious.
Also, right-hander Daisuke Matsuzaka, who missed his last start with flu-like symptoms, is scheduled to pitch Wednesday. Dice-K threw a 50-pitch bullpen session at Fenway Park on Saturday.
"Try to give him an extra day toward recovery," Francona said.
Jon Lester will start Tuesday's opener of a three-game series with Toronto.
