It is extremely rare to see David Ortiz playing the field at home games. However, he'll be on the field for every pitch of his last three regular season games at Fenway Park.
The Red Sox grounds crew cut Ortiz' body into center field for the weekend. Ortiz is pointing to the sky, his signature move when crossing home plate after a home run.

The @RedSox pay tribute to Big Papi with a GIANT portrait in the center field grass.

The Red Sox host the Blue Jays Friday-Sunday, but that will not be it for Ortiz. Boston has clinched the AL East, and postseason baseball will be played at Fenway Park. However, it is unclear if this new carving will live to see the ALDS.
