Victorino went 2-for-3 with a walk and a homer in Thursday night's win over the Mariners. He also had a nice catch in right field before doubling up a runner at first base. Victorino has been in the starting lineup in three of the first four games since his activation off the disabled list. He's 3-for-10 with two runs scored and two extra-base hits since his return.

Victorino was activated off the disabled list and started in right field Monday night against Oakland. He went hit-less in four at-bats. Victorino will be used primarily against left-handers initially upon his return while Jackie Bradley will be in right field against right-handed pitchers. Manager John Farrell estimated Victorino is at 90 percent.

Victorino (hamstring) has been activated from the DL and will get the start in right field Monday, Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe reports. As expected, Victorino will make his return to the Red Sox after playing a full nine innings at Double-A Portland on Saturday. He figures to take over as the primary right fielder, though manager John Farrell noted that Jackie Bradley will continue to see playing time against right-handers.

Victorino (hamstring) is expected to be activated from the DL on Monday, Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe reports. Victorino will progress to a full nine innings with Double-A Portland on Saturday after going 0-for-3 with a strikeout in his first rehab game Friday. Assuming there are no complications with the hamstring, Victorino will rejoin the big club Sunday and return to his role as the primary right fielder in the series opener against Oakland.

Victorino (hamstring) began a rehab assignment Friday, going 0-for-3 while playing six innings in right field for Double-A Portland. Victorino will suit up again for the Sea Dogs on Saturday and is expected to join the Red Sox in Toronto on Sunday. He could be activated in time for Monday's series opener against the Athletics in Oakland.

Victorino (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Portland on Friday, the Boston Globe reports. The plan calls for Victorino to play Friday and Saturday and, if all goes well, he could rejoin Boston in time for a series in Oakland next week.

Victorino (hamstring) isn't expected to be activated from the 15-day DL until next week at the earliest, Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal reports. Victorino is tentatively scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Friday at Double-A Portland, where he'll likely play at least two games before the Red Sox bring him back to the big club. There's some uncertainty as to whether Victorino will regain his starting right field job upon his return, as the Red Sox have received strong play from Brock Holt and have Rusney Castillo waiting in the wings at Triple-A Pawtucket.

Victorino (hamstring) has been running with more intensity and should be able to start a rehab assignment next week, the Boston Globe reports. Manager John Farrell suggested Victorino would heat to Triple-A Pawtucket or Double-A Portland. Beyond the rehab, the real question is whether or not Victorino returns as the starter in right field. Brock Holt has cooled off a bit after a hot stretch, but isn't an injury risk like Victorino.

Victorino (hamstring) has already increased his running program, and he may start a rehab assignment next week, Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe reports. While Victorino's hamstring injuries seem to be never-ending, it sounds as if this latest one may only sideline him for the minimum 15 days. In his absence, the Red Sox have more at-bats available for Allen Craig, Daniel Nava and Brock Holt.

Victorino (hamstring) was placed on the 15-day DL on Saturday, the Boston Herald's Michael Silverman reports. As has been the case fairly regularly since 2013, Victorino is dealing with a hamstring injury, and will be out at least until early May. The Red Sox are more than capable of replacing Victorino with a combination of Allen Craig, Daniel Nava and Brock Holt. Given Victorino's recent track record, this may not be his last stay on the DL this year and in shallower leagues his uneven playing time makes him difficult to roster.
