SEATTLE — Right-handed reliever Jordan Hicks, who the Red Sox acquired from the Giants in the Rafael Devers trade, will throw a live batting practice at Fenway Park on Thursday.

The 28-year-old has been on the 15-day injured list since June 3 (retroactive to June 2) with inflammation in his right big toe.

“I’m not sure what’s next for him (after the live BP). Probably, if anything, a rehab assignment and then hopefully he’ll be with us,” manager Alex Cora said Wednesday before Boston’s rubber game against the Mariners.

Hicks struggled with the Giants this season, posting a 6.47 ERA in 13 outings (nine starts).

He had a 3.29 ERA in 65 relief outings in 2023.

The Red Sox are expected to use him out of the bullpen.

“We’re absolutely excited about bringing Jordan Hicks, a dominant late-inning reliever, into our mix,” chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said Monday.

~ Wilyer Abreu (left oblique strain) will play right field for Triple-A Worcester in his second rehab game Wednesday. He served as the DH in his first rehab game Tuesday.

He’s on track to be activated from the IL on Friday when the Red Sox open a three-game series in San Francisco vs. the Giants.

“We’ll see how he feels and there’s a chance he will be with us in San Fran,” Cora said.

~ Tanner Houck (right flexor pronator strain) is expected to throw two or three innings in a rehab start for Worcester on Wednesday.

~ Kutter Crawford threw a bullpen session Tuesday. He’ll throw another one Friday. “We’ll see how we feel after that,” Cora said.

Crawford, who has been on the injured list since the start of the season with right patellar tendinopathy, was days away from a rehab assignment in early June but then began experiencing soreness in his wrist.

~ Alex Bregman (right quad strain) will go through some scheduled testing Wednesday to see where he’s at with strength and to determine what’s next in his progression.

He’s only running as of now. He has not hit or fielded.

~ Masataka Yoshida’s return from the IL could be sped up now that the Red Sox are without an everyday DH after trading Devers.

“We’re going to meet probably today to map out what’s next for him,” Cora said. “There’s a chance he’ll go to Fort Myers, start getting more reps down there and then go on a rehab assignment hopefully soon. But we haven’t met about it. But I think that probably is going to be on the table.”

The 31-year-old underwent a right shoulder labral repair last Oct. 3 in Boston. His shoulder doesn’t bother him when he hits. It only affects him when throwing.

He threw out to 120 feet Tuesday.

Would the rehab assignment include him playing the outfield or just hitting?

“We’ll talk about it,” Cora said. “I’m not sure how that looks. But it will be good to get him at-bats.”
