Richard Fitts (right pectoral strain) should be going on a rehab assignment \u201cin the next few days,\u201d said Red Sox bench coach Ram\u00f3n V\u00e1zquez before he managed Monday night\u2019s series opener against the visiting New York Mets. (Manager Alex Cora was at his daughter\u2019s graduation from Boston College.)<\/p>\n
\u201cHe looks good, by the way,\u201d V\u00e1zquez said of the rookie right-hander. \u201cHe threw the up-and-down the other day and he said he feels great, felt great right after, so that\u2019s really good news.\u201d<\/p>\n
As of pregame Monday, right-hander Walker Buehler (right shoulder bursitis) is still scheduled to be activated from the injured list to start Tuesday\u2019s game.<\/p>\n
V\u00e1zquez wasn\u2019t sure about a timeline for Romy Gonzalez (left quad contusion), but said the utility-man is \u201cdoing a lot of other stuff,\u201d including hitting, taking throws, and running sprints. \u201cSo, so far I think we\u2019re on schedule with him, with whatever they have planned,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Richard Fitts (right pectoral strain) should be going on a rehab assignment \u201cin the next few days,\u201d said…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":39747,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2375],"tags":[858,5,141,48,2542,4,89,2543,185],"class_list":{"0":"post-39746","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boston-red-sox","8":"tag-alex-cora","9":"tag-baseball","10":"tag-boston","11":"tag-boston-red-sox","12":"tag-bostonredsox","13":"tag-mlb","14":"tag-red-sox","15":"tag-redsox","16":"tag-sports"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/114536774722229586","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39746","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39746"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39746\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39747"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39746"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39746"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39746"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
