Boston's third base conundrum may have gotten conun-
drumier with news that
Brock Holt was lifted from a AAA rehab start with recurring vertigo symptoms. It
had been hoped that Holt could return to the team sometime on this six-game road-trip, but that appears unlikely now. This further deepens the team's problems at the hot corner—although recent play by
Deven Marrero has eased the immediacy a
bit. Unless
Pablo Sandoval returns
soon —
and performs like his contract would suggest—third base will be an issue throughout the season.
