## Resource

Red Sox fans rejoice—Willson Contreras is back on the field, swinging and running drills after his hamstring strain. Eligible to return Thursday, he’s nearing full health without a rehab assignment, which could mean an immediate return. His presence is vital as Boston fights for a playoff spot in third place, six games back in the AL East with just three weeks left. The upcoming series against the Orioles might be the perfect stage to reintroduce him before October. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
