Eric Hosmer Stats

The Boston Red Sox reinstated first baseman Eric Hosmer (back) from the 10-day injured list on Monday and recalled left-hander Darwinzon Hernandez from the minors. In corresponding moves, the team optioned right-hander Josh Winckowski and placed outfielder Rob Refsnyder (back) on the 10-day injured list with lower-back spasms. Hosmer will return after missing 38 games, but he won't be in the starting lineup on Monday against the Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Tyler Glasnow. Rookie Triston Casas has been swinging it well and will get another start at the cold corner on Monday, but Hosmer should see action in at least one of the two remaining regular season games for Boston.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Eric Hosmer (back) is expected to be activated off the injured list on Monday, according to manager Alex Cora. The left-handed slugger has been out since August 20 due to inflammation in his back. Luckily, it sounds like Hosmer will be ready in time to play during the final series of the regular season. The 32-year-old is hitting .267/.333/.381 with eight homers and 44 RBI through 102 games this season.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Eric Hosmer (back) is now on track to play some games down the stretch, possibly as soon as later this week. Top prospect Triston Casas has been getting most of the playing time at first base, but Hosmer could get some games in the field and also some at designated hitter when he returns from the injured list. Hosmer has played in just 12 games since being acquired from the San Diego Padres at the Aug. 2 trade deadline. "Moving better," said manager Alex Cora. "There's a chance we might get him toward the end of the week. There's a good chance. He's improved and is making strides. That's good." Hosmer has gone just 9-for-40 (.225) with no homers and four RBI in his 12 games for Boston before going on the IL.
