Kyle Schwarber is the designated hitter for the Red Sox game against the Rangers on Friday, but he could be making his return to the field soon.
Red Sox manager Alex Cora believes there’s “a good chance” Schwarber will be on the field this weekend. However, it won’t be at the position the Red Sox hoped he would play at when they traded for him.
“He’ll play the outfield,” Cora told NESN’s Tom Caron of Schwarber’s fielding return. “We’re working on the first base thing. He feels good about it. At one point during the season, we’re going to have to use him (at first base).
