A complicated Red Sox outfield situation could get even more complicated next week.
Right fielder Wilyer Abreu resumed swinging a bat on Friday ahead of Boston’s series against the Yankees, according to manager Alex Cora. Cora said the team had hoped Abreu would be at this point in his recovery from a left oblique strain that landed him on the 10-day injured list on Monday (via The Boston Globe’s Tim Healey).
Given Abreu’s seemingly successful recovery thus far, he could be on track to return to play after a minimum 10 days on the IL, per Cora (via the Boston Herald’s Mac Cerullo).
