12 Brock Holt 2B

Holt (shoulder) will resume baseball activities Monday, Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald reports.

Holt's corneal abrasion has healed, and now he focuses on the shoulder. "He gives us balance, a left-handed hitter that can play everywhere on the field, he's a quality at-bat when he's healthy, so we miss him," said manager Alex Cora. "We'll be patient, we know how important he is and we're not going to rush him." The Red Sox plan to return him to a minor-league rehab assignment as soon as possible.

Holt has been diagnosed with a right shoulder impingement and will be shut down from throwing, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

This is more bad news for Holt, who'd almost made it back from the injured list after suffering a scratched cornea at the beginning of April. The Red Sox have yet to release a timetable for his return, though skipper Alex Cora stated he's hopeful Holt's recovery "won't take that long," per Speier.

Holt (eye) is returning to Boston on Monday for tests on his sore shoulder, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Holt was nearly ready to return to big-league action after dealing with a scratched cornea, but the shoulder issue popped up over the weekend, causing him to be pulled from the lineup Sunday. The severity of the setback should become clear once the results of the tests are made public.

Holt resumed his rehab assignment Friday after a short break, going 1-for-3 with three walks, but apparently did something during the game to injure his shoulder. He's considered day-to-day, and it's unclear how this latest setback affects his timetable to return to Boston.

Holt (eye) will join Triple-A Pawtucket on Friday to resume his rehab assignment, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
