2 years agoBoston Red Sox skipper Alex Cora said that outfielder Enrique Hernandez (hip) has "felt great" since resuming swinging a bat, and he's made steady progress ever since he got a platelet-rich plasma injection the weekend before the All-Star break. "We'll see [Aug. 9] where he is," Cora said, adding that plans could be in the works soon for a minor league rehab assignment. The 30-year-old has been sidelined with a right hip-flexor strain and is expected to return in mid-to-late August. Outfield prospect Jarren Duran has mostly been playing center field with Hernandez sidelined, but Hernandez should at least return to semi-regular playing time for Boston once he's ready to return. He was hitting .209/.273/.340 with four home runs, 24 RBI and 27 runs scored in 215 at-bats before his injury.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
