Raking in minors Cordero has posted a 1.195 OPS with five home runs and 15 RBI over 15 games since he was demoted to Triple-A Worcester.
Impact Cordero fizzled in the majors with a .502 OPS before being sent down May 27, but he's doubled that figure during his time with the WooSox. What's made manager Alex Cora take notice is his ability to control the zone, per Jordan Horrobin of MLB.com. "Forget the home runs, [it's] the walks," Cora said. "He's been walking a lot, and I think that's very important. The more he shows control of the strike zone, the better it's gonna be for him." Indeed, Cordero's doubled his walk rate since being demoted, going from 5.9 percent in the majors to 12.9 percent in the minors. The Red Sox passed up a chance to promote Cordero on Monday, instead calling up Michael Chavis to take the roster spot made available by designating Ryan Weber for assignment. That suggests the club would like to see Cordero sustain his good habits for a longer stretch of time.

Snaps hitless funk Cordero went 2-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI in Saturday's 9-0 win over the Angels.
Impact Cordero's fourth-inning double snapped an 0-for-18 skid, and the two hits raised the outfielder's batting average to .167 and OPS to .448. As those numbers suggest, he's suffered through multiple funks this season. Cordero has minor-league options remaining, so the Red Sox could make a switch at some point if he continues along in the same manner.
