4 years agoOriginally expected to start the season on the injured list, Boston Red Sox outfielder Franchy Cordero now has a real chance to be on the Opening Day roster. Cordero, who was acquired in the Andrew Benintendi trade, was a late arrival to spring training after contracting COVID-19, but he has gotten three hits in his first seven at-bats. Manager Alex Cora says that Cordero will play one more game on Friday before the team decides whether he will make the Opening Day roster. No matter when Cordero makes his debut, he will be slotted into a starting outfield spot, especially against right-handed pitching.--Daniel Fox
