"Gonzalez injured his shoulder in late September and has not been able to participate in baseball activities ever since. Yesterday, he spoke to the media and conceded that he probably won't be ready to play by Opening day. He will have another medical check-in next Friday, but he is already anticipating that he still won't be cleared to swing a bat then, either."
"The Sox have deliberately slowed his hitting work in order to give the wrist more time to heal and strengthen. But the team has now announced that he'll make his spring debut on Friday."
"In fact, you don't have to work too hard to come with some scenarios where Romero ends up getting more playing time with the big league club this year than just about anyone expects. Alex Cora certainly sounds intrigued by him, and wants to get a good long look at how he does playing second base this spring."
Romy Gonzalez continues his recovery from a shoulder injury sustained in late September, with realistic expectations that he won't be ready for Opening Day. He anticipates remaining unable to swing a bat even after his next medical evaluation. Meanwhile, Marcelo Mayer is making his spring debut after an offseason wrist injury, with the team deliberately limiting his hitting work to allow proper healing. Willson Contreras has recovered from injury and is already contributing power to the Red Sox lineup. Prospect Mikey Romero is gaining attention in his first big league spring training, with manager Alex Cora showing interest in evaluating him at second base. Kristian Campbell is also working on swing adjustments during spring training.
