Impact Hernandez took live batting practice Saturday and is expected to report to Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday to begin his rehab assignment. While Cora said Saturday that he was hopeful Hernandez would be back Wednesday or Thursday, it's possible that the Red Sox wait until this weekend before reinstating him from the injured list.

Takes hacks against Chris Sale Hernandez (hip) took two at-bats against rehabbing starting pitcher Chris Sale (rib cage) in a simulated game Thursday at Fenway Park, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Hernandez's participation in a simulated game could be the final benchmark he needs to clear in his recovery from a strained right hip before heading to one of the Red Sox's minor-league affiliates this weekend for what will likely be a brief rehab assignment. Jarren Duran and Jackie Bradley have been filling in in center field while Hernandez has been on the 10-day inured list.
