He’s slated to start Double-A’s first game of the season.“Most likely, that will be his last one before joining us,” the manager said.The 28-year-old righty underwent season-ending hip surgery last September, and the Red Sox have been careful about his work this spring.

Veteran southpaw James Paxton is expected to follow the next day.“They’re on track,” Cora said. “They are getting better, bouncing back great. So now, it’s just a matter o...
