After four days dealing with flu-like symptoms, Mookie Betts is finally on his way to re-join the Red Sox. He’s not in today’s lineup, but he’s expected to be on the bench this afternoon and potentially available to pinch hit.
Plan is to have him back in the lineup Sunday.
“We’re hopeful that he’s in here before game time,” manager John Farrell said. “But given what he’s come off of the last couple of days, it’s going to be important to get a bat in his hand, get him in the cage somewhat, and then make him available sometime late in today’s game.
