Wilyer Abreu Injury: Aiming to swing bat Friday

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Tuesday that it's possible Abreu (oblique) will return from the 10-day injured list following a minimum absence, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

The club won't have a better idea regarding Abreu's progress until he swings a bat, and it's hoping he's ready to do that Friday. Abreu is eligible for activation June 20.
