AUGUST 25 • BOLAVIP.COM

On verge of return Kiner-Falefa (forearm) could be activated during Boston's series in Miami which begins Monday Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Impact Kiner-Falefa, who has been on the injured list since June 19 with a stress reaction in his right forearm, spent last week on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Worcester. The utility infielder is 1-for-13 over four games for the WooSox. Kiner-Falefa is expected to step back into a utility role, as teammate Trevor Story (sports hernia) could also come off the injured list during the Marlins series and reclaim the starting job at shortstop. Second base is also an option for Kiner-Falefa, but the red-hot Nick Sogard (11-for-22, two HR, four doubles, four RBI, six walks, eight runs) is having a moment.

It looks like the Red Sox are set to receive significant reinforcements for the final weeks of the regular season, as both Roman Anthony (finger) and Trevor Story (sports hernia) have also been cleared to start their respective rehab assignments.
