David Ortiz aka “Big Papi” was transferred from his native Dominican Republic to a Massachusetts hospital late Monday.

The ex-Boston Red Sox slugger — who was wounded in an ambush-style shooting attack in Santo Domingo on Sunday — was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital via ambulance and with a police escort, video from a WBZ reporter shows.

Ortiz, 43, made the trip aboard a team jet, following a six-hour overnight surgery in which his gallblader and parts of his intestines and colon were removed.

Earlier on Monday, fans said a prayer for the three time World Series winner at Fenway Park.
