Wilyer Abreu is set to test his hamstring in Fenway, the latest signal that Boston's injured stars may be nearing returns as they chase a playoff spot.

Abreu, a Gold Glove defender who has slashed .253/.325/.486 with 22 homers, would anchor a renewed outfield and provide a power boost alongside Roman Anthony, who has carried Boston's offense in Abreu's absence. A late-August return could reshape the lineup as Boston eyes a Wild Card push.

A home series with the Yankees looms large, and Abreu could be back in time to help the Sox and help keep pace in a tight race with Baltimore threatening in the rearview. Cora will have a clearer read after the first running test tomorrow.
