He\u2019s been able to hit and move around defensively. But he hasn\u2019t been able to run. So are we concerned? Yes and no. He\u2019ll be back at one point. But I think it\u2019s been longer than expected,\u201d Cora said (via Masslive).<\/p>\n<p>Abreu has been a core part of the Red Sox, with his Gold Glove in right field, and the fact he\u2019s slashing .253\/.325\/.486\/.811, with 16 doubles, 69 RBI, and is tied with Trevor Story in homers with 22, which leads the team.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE:\u00a0Red Sox predicted to advance to the ALDS by beating their eternal rivals in the Wildcard series<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not like the Sox need Abreu back ASAP, though. They still have three stud outfielders in Roman Anthony, Jarren Duran, and Ceddanne Rafaela to start everyday. However, having a surplus of great outfielders is never a bad thing.<\/p>\n<p>When Abreu does return, that just means Anthony and Duran will take more reps at DH, so all four can be included. Hopefully Abreu returns soon, as while they don\u2019t need him, getting some reps in before the playoffs is never a bad idea.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE\u00a0BOSTON RED SOX\u00a0NEWS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Former Red Sox starter Walker Buehler finds new home with NL East contender<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Red Sox AAA flamethrower scratched from start; could mean Sox debut against Guardians on Wednesday<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Red Sox give Aroldis Chapman deserved contract extension after putting up video game numbers in age-37 season<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cora was rather reserved on the subject.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":86819,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[46,632,1574,3403,3404,1499,114,761,2947,702,198],"class_list":["post-86818","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-alex-cora","tag-aroldis-chapman","tag-ceddanne-rafaela","tag-gold-glove","tag-hopefully-abreu","tag-jarren-duran","tag-red-sox","tag-roman-anthony","tag-sox","tag-trevor-story","tag-wilyer-abreu"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
