12 Brock Holt 2B

Holt (eye) visited the eye doctor after beginning his minor-league rehab assignment Tuesday at Triple-A Pawtucket, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Holt was supposed to play a couple games with Pawtucket before potentially returning Friday at Tampa Bay, but he apparently had some issues seeing the ball. According the Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic, the 30-year-old will look to try out a different lens, making him unlikely to ready for this weekend.

Holt (eye) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Pawtucket on Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Holt has been on the injured list for 10 days since his 2-year-old son accidentally scratched his cornea. He's eligible to return Tuesday but will need at least a few more days. The plan is to have him play two games and then evaluate from there. With an off day coming up Thursday, Friday's game against the Rays could be a reasonable target.

Holt was placed on the 10-day injured list with a scratched cornea in his right eye, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Holt had been getting pretty regular work this season with Dustin Pedroia (knee) on the mend. Tzu-Wei Lin was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move, but it will likely be Eduardo Nunez who gets the starts at second base in the interim.

Holt went 0-for-2 with a walk in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Mariners.

Holt made his season debut, starting at second base against right-hander Mike Leake. In Boston's first two games, it faced left-handers and Eduardo Nunez started at second. Nunez is again in the lineup Sunday against lefty Wade LeBlanc. A platoon appears to be the plan for now until Dustin Pedroia (knee) is ready to play.

Holt, who did not start Opening Day against Seattle left-hander Marco Gonzalez, will make his first start of the season Saturday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Eduardo Nunez started Thursday and will be in the lineup again Friday against southpaw Yusei Kikuchi before Holt starts Saturday against right-hander Mike Leake. Holt and Nunez will share second base until Dustin Pedroia (knee) is ready to play.
