Franchy Cordero Stats

Boston Red Sox outfielder Franchy Cordero is starting in right field and is hitting leadoff for the first time this year on Wednesday against Cincinnati Reds right-hander Hunter Greene. Cordero has gone 11-for-38 (.290) with two home runs and nine RBI in the last 14 days, and he's earned a look a top Boston's batting order. His slash line on the year is up to .260/.322/.442 with two homers, 12 RBI and 16 runs scored in 87 plate appearances. The 27-year-old Dominican has a tough matchup with the flame-throwing Greene on tap on Wednesday, but his fantasy stock is certainly rising, and he's in the midst of a six-game stretch that has seen him go 6-for-18 with a homer, two doubles and three RBI.

Boston Red Sox designated infielder Travis Shaw for assignment on Friday and are calling up Franchy Cordero to take his place on the roster, according to multiple sources. The team is also expected to activate pitchers Tanner Houck and Kutter Crawford from the restricted list. Shaw made the roster on a minor league deal, but has struggled since then. He is 0-for-19 with seven strikeouts this season, so it's not shocking to see the team deciding to make a change. Cordero willplay outfield and possibly some first base when Bobby Dalbec needs a break.
