Red Sox DH David Ortiz made his first comments since initially addressing a report that he tested positive for performance enhancers in 2003.

Speaking to reporters for approximately one minute at Yankee Stadium today, Ortiz said of his current situation: “I’m not comfortable with it, but I can handle it.”

Ortiz met with Major League Baseball Players Association officials, and the union plans a press conference about Ortiz on Saturday at the Stadium. A week ago today, the New York Times revealed that Ortiz and Ramirez were among the 104 players who tested positive in 2003.

Ortiz said he was “blindsided” by the report when it came out.

“Based on the way I lived my life I’m surprised to learn I tested positive,” Ortiz said then. “I will find out what I tested positive for. … Based on whatever I learn, I will share this information with the club and the public. You know me — I will not hide and I will not make excuses.”

The Red Sox, 8-0 against the Yankees this season but trailing them in the AL East, open a four-game series at the Stadium tonight.
