Franchy Cordero - Page 9 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Moves back to big club The Red Sox will recall Cordero from Triple-A Worcester prior to Thursday's game against the Yankees, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Cordero flopped with the Red Sox earlier this season (.502 OPS, 36.3 percent strikeout rate in 34 games), but he earned his way back to the big leagues after slashing a sizzling .331/.410/.548 in 188 plate appearances at Triple-A since his May 27 demotion. Boston placed Danny Santana (groin) on the injured list in a corresponding move, but Cordero could have a tough time finding consistent at-bats while he's up with the big club. Boston already has three outfielders in Alex Verdugo, Jarren Duran and Enrique Hernandez that are lefty or switch hitters, so the lefty-hitting Cordero seemingly lacks a path to a strong-side platoon role.

Could be promoted Cordero could be called up from Triple-A Worcester if the Red Sox place Danny Santana (groin) on the injured list, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Santana was removed from Wednesday's game against Toronto with left groin tightness, which manager Alex Cora suggested will require a stint on the IL. With Marwin Gonzalez (hamstring) and Christian Arroyo (hamstring) already on the IL, Cordero becomes an option for a return to the majors. Cordero, who was up with Boston to start the season, is slashing .331/.410/.548 over 188 at-bats for the WooSox.

Impact An outfielder by trade, Cordero is trying his hand at a new position in an effort to increase his versatility and improve his playing-time outlook for the next time he receives a call-up to the big leagues. Since being optioned to Worcester on May 27, Cordero has been one of the top hitters at Triple-A. He's posted a monstrous 1.144 OPS with a 14 percent walk rate and 25.6 percent strikeout rate across 121 plate appearances with Worcester.

Raking in minors Cordero has posted a 1.195 OPS with five home runs and 15 RBI over 15 games since he was demoted to Triple-A Worcester.

Impact Cordero fizzled in the majors with a .502 OPS before being sent down May 27, but he's doubled that figure during his time with the WooSox. What's made manager Alex Cora take notice is his ability to control the zone, per Jordan Horrobin of MLB.com. "Forget the home runs, [it's] the walks," Cora said. "He's been walking a lot, and I think that's very important. The more he shows control of the strike zone, the better it's gonna be for him." Indeed, Cordero's doubled his walk rate since being demoted, going from 5.9 percent in the majors to 12.9 percent in the minors. The Red Sox passed up a chance to promote Cordero on Monday, instead calling up Michael Chavis to take the roster spot made available by designating Ryan Weber for assignment. That suggests the club would like to see Cordero sustain his good habits for a longer stretch of time.
