The Boston Red Sox have just seven games left in the regular season. At this point in the year, you typically wouldn’t see many massive changes. But, the Red Sox are expected to get a big boost on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays.<\/p>\n

Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe reported that Wilyer Abreu will be activated on Sunday.<\/p>\n

“Wilyer Abreu rejoined the Red Sox on Saturday and, after working out with the team before the Sox\u2019 6-3 win over the Rays at Steinbrenner Field, expects to be activated on Sunday,” Abraham said. “Will the outfielder be eased back into the lineup in his first game action since a calf strain sidelined him following a game on Aug. 17? ‘We don\u2019t have time to ease people. We don\u2019t have time,’ said Sox manager Alex Cora. ‘If he\u2019s in the middle of the lineup, or lower in the lineup, he\u2019s a good at-bat. He\u2019s going to add a weapon for us.’<\/p>\n

“Abreu stayed in Boston on Friday to take advantage of the array of medical resources at Fenway. He ran the bases \u2014 he said he\u2019s been running at up to 95 percent intensity \u2014 to get clearance for a return to the team and the roster. He said he should be fully available for the rest of the season and postseason, and capable of playing either right field or serving as DH.”<\/p>\n

The Red Sox took care of business on Saturday and now have an 85-70 record. The addition of Abreu back into the lineup obviously takes this offense to a higher level. Over the last few weeks, the Red Sox’s offense has arguably been its Achilles heel. Abreu isn’t an end-all solution to fix everything for the Red Sox’s offense. But, he’s a significant upgrade with the playoff race tight. The Red Sox control their own destiny right now and this is the news the team needs. Boston doesn’t have much time left in the regular season, but are getting Abreu back at the perfect time.<\/p>\n
