Boston Red Sox

The Boston Red Sox's injury-riddled campaign has been quite frustrating all year long but it's starting to look like fans could see some impact players return before season's end.

Among Boston's injured players are right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (shoulder inflammation), second baseman Trevor Story (ankle), right hander Kutter Crawford (shoulder impingement) and first baseman Eric Hosmer (lower back).

Fortunately, there are positive updates for all four players with three weeks left to play.

"Eovaldi on track for another live bullpen on Sunday," MassLive's Chris Cotillo tweeted Tuesday. "Still might get rehab outing, Sox won't rush him. Story likely back Friday (after) baseball activities today.

"Crawford (is) progressing slowly. Won't be back in (the) next week. Hosmer's feeling better."

While the update to Crawford appeared to be negative based on the phrasing of the report, he started playing catch and is moving in the right direction.

Time is expiring on the 2022 season but Eovaldi and Story could return while Crawford still has a chance to make an appearance before the season concludes.

Scott Neville covers the Boston Red Sox for Sports Illustrated's new page "Inside The Red Sox." Before starting "Inside The Red Sox", Neville attended Merrimack College, where he earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Communication and Media with a minor in Marketing. Neville spent all four years with Merrimack's radio station WMCK, where he grew as a radio/podcast host and producer. His propensity for being in front of a microphone eventually expanded to film, where he produced multiple short films alongside his then-roommate and current co-worker Stephen Mottram. On a journey that began as a way to receive easy credits via film classes, he received a call from "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" star Charlie Day. Day advised him to make a feature-length film, which he completed his senior year. While writing the film, Neville completed an internship for United Way as part of their NFL Partnership Program. Neville ran the blog for a team of interns and hosted an internet show called "United Way's NFL Partnership Series" where he interviewed NFL alumni. After college Neville wrote for SB Nation's "Over The Monster," a Red Sox sister site of the flagship brand. His work would eventually lead him to a job as a content producer with NESN, where he would cover all sports. After developing as a writer with the top regional network in the world, he was given the opportunity to join the Sports Illustrated Media Group in his current endeavor as the publisher of "Inside The Red Sox." The successful launch and quick rise of "Inside The Red Sox" led to Neville joining the Baseball Essential ownership group, a national baseball site under SIMG.
