He cannot do baseball activities yet,\u201d Cora told reporters, per MassLive\u2019s Christopher Smith.<\/p>\n<p>The Red Sox are currently in wait-and-see mode when it comes to Abreu, who lost weight due to the illness, according to Cora. Cora said Abreu had more lab work done Monday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are getting the results today. So we\u2019re still waiting,\u201d Cora said.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>Abreu was expected to be an Opening Day starter in the outfield for the Red Sox alongside Ceddanne Rafaela and Jarren Duran. It\u2019s unclear if Abreu\u2019s health situation will impact that, but there is still a month until the start of the regular season for him to recover.<\/p>\n<p>Abreu, who the Red Sox acquired at the 2022 trade deadline in the Christian V\u00e1zquez deal, batted .253 with 15 home runs, 58 RBIs and eight stolen bases in his first full season in the big leagues this past year. Abreu also led all AL outfielders with nine assists.<\/p>\n<p>Abreu is the only Red Sox position player completely sidelined as Masataka Yoshida works his way back from shoulder surgery and Rafael Devers is progressing well after shoulder ailments hampered him last season.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Red Sox manager Alex Cora updated the status of a Red Sox outfielder who has been shut down from baseball activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":37476,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37473","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
