(Reuters) - David Ortiz, the retired baseball star who played for the Boston Red Sox, was awake and stable after undergoing surgery in Boston on Monday night for wounds suffered when he was shot in the Dominican Republic, his wife said on Tuesday. "He is stable, awake, and resting comfortably this morning," Tiffany Ortiz said in a statement released by the Red Sox. Ortiz, 43, was shot in the torso on Sunday evening at a nightclub in Santo Domingo, the capital of his native Dominican Republic. Police there have arrested one suspect, identified as Eddy Vladimir Féliz García, who was beaten by bystanders at the scene. Ortiz underwent a first round of surgery in Santo Domingo on Sunday night before being flown to Boston.
