Boston Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras took pregame batting practice on Monday at Fenway Park. The 34-year-old has been sidelined since August 31 with a left hamstring strain. While he has not been assigned to a minor league rehab stint, his return to the field for drills indicates that his activation from the 10-day injured list is approaching. He is eligible to return to the active roster this Thursday. The Red Sox currently sit third in the AL East with an 80-65 record as they contend for a wild card spot. Interim manager Chad Tracy has navigated the team's lineup without Contreras, relying on Mickey Gasper and other internal options to cover first base duties throughout the recent stretch.
