Red Sox manager Alex Cora suggested Sunday that Gonzalez's (hamstring) return from the injured list isn't imminent, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports. "[Marwin is] progressing but I don't think it's going to be something short," Cora said of Gonzalez's stint on the IL. "Marwin's running right now [at] 60 percent."

EDGE Analysis

The fact that Gonzalez isn't being shut down from activity entirely offers some reassurance of his health, but he still looks like he's at least a week away from even beginning a rehab assignment. With two other utility men in Christian Arroyo (hamstring) and Danny Santana (groin) also on the shelf, Michael Chavis should have a decent amount of leash as Boston's top infielder off the bench.
