The Red Sox are hopeful new acquisition Kyle Schwarber might return soon from a hamstring injury he suffered on July 2.
Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters prior to their game against the Rays on Sunday that Schwarber’s recovery has gone well, aided by the Nationals’ training staff.
“He feels good,” Cora said. “The medical staff, they feel good, and they feel like what they did with him with the Nationals have put him in a good situation. Obviously we’re not talking about being active in the upcoming days.”
The Red Sox will sit down Tuesday or Wednesday to discuss next steps for Schwarber, who told reporters he expects “it’s not going to be too long” before he returns.
