Wilyer Abreu Begins Running
Wilyer Abreu (calf) ran for the first time in more than a week on Friday and did so again Saturday, manager Alex Cora told reporters. "He feels OK," Cora said. "It wasn't full speed, but better than last time he tried." Cora didn't indicate when Abreu could return from the 10-day injured list. The 26-year-old has been on the shelf with a right-calf injury since Aug. 18, and the hope then was that he would only require a minimum stay on the IL. Unfortunately for the Red Sox and fantasy managers, Abreu's absence is nearing the three-week mark with no clear end in sight. Abreu has set career highs in homers (22) and RBI (69) while slashing .253/.325/.486 with 52 runs scored and six stolen bases in 395 plate appearances.
