The House of Representatives has approved a supplemental budget that includes language that would rename the Brookline Avenue Bridge the David Ortiz (Big Papi) Bridge.

The bridge spans the Massachusetts Turnpike between Landsdowne Street and Newbury Street, near Fenway Park.

Ortiz is in his final season with the playoff-bound Red Sox.

Lawmakers say the honor would recognize his accomplishments on and off the field. They note his charitable work on behalf of children in New England and his native Dominican Republic and his efforts after the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing to help the city heal.

The House passed the bill during an informal session on Thursday. The bill now goes to the Senate.
