Welcome home, Big Papi.

Boston Red Sox legend David Ortiz, writing Monday in his first social media post since he was shot last month in his native Dominican Republic, said that he was relieved to be back home.

“Being at home and look at my family celebrating that Im here safe is priceless…” wrote the retired slugger and World Series champ on Instagram. “Thank for all the prayers.”

The caption was attached to a trio of photos showing some scrumptious-looking grub — a steak on a grill, a bowl of tortellini and some salted fish — that’s apparently still off-limits for the on-the-mend Ortiz.

“Too bad I can’t crush food yet,” he added.

A would-be assassin’s bullet cut through Ortiz’s back, exiting through his stomach, when he was targeted at a Santo Domingo nightclub in an apparent case of mistaken identity.

More than a dozen people have been arrested by Dominican police for the botched hit, which left Ortiz in need of a trio of grueling surgeries.

ESPN reported that Ortiz was released from Massachusetts General Hospital on Friday, but will continue to recover at home with the help of a personal physician and a team of nurses.
