Ortiz’s wife, Tiffany, and their children have been by his side, and were with him as he walked a few steps with help at Boston’s Massachusetts General Hospital, where he is being treated, spokesman Leo Lopez told CNN.
Lopez was unable to provide further detail about Ortiz’s condition. “He’ll be in intensive care for a while,” he said.
Earlier, Tiffany Ortiz said her husband was “stable, awake, and resting comfortably” in Mass General’s intensive care unit, “where he is expected to remain for the next several days,” according to a statement released by the Major League Baseball club.

Ortiz, 43, was shot in the back, and “the bullet went through his stomach,” Felix Durán Mejia, a spokesman for the Dominican Republic National Police, told CNN.
He had an initial surgery in the Dominican Republic, suffering bleeding in his liver and needing portions of his intestines and gallbladder removed, said Lopez.
