Eric Hosmer Could Return Later This Week
2 years agoBoston Red Sox first baseman Eric Hosmer (back) is now on track to play some games down the stretch, possibly as soon as later this week. Top prospect Triston Casas has been getting most of the playing time at first base, but Hosmer could get some games in the field and also some at designated hitter when he returns from the injured list. Hosmer has played in just 12 games since being acquired from the San Diego Padres at the Aug. 2 trade deadline. "Moving better," said manager Alex Cora. "There's a chance we might get him toward the end of the week. There's a good chance. He's improved and is making strides. That's good." Hosmer has gone just 9-for-40 (.225) with no homers and four RBI in his 12 games for Boston before going on the IL.
