Victorino went 2-for-3 with a walk and a homer in Thursday night's win over the Mariners. He also had a nice catch in right field before doubling up a runner at first base.

Victorino has been in the starting lineup in three of the first four games since his activation off the disabled list. He's 3-for-10 with two runs scored and two extra-base hits since his return.

Victorino was activated off the disabled list and started in right field Monday night against Oakland. He went hit-less in four at-bats.

Victorino will be used primarily against left-handers initially upon his return while Jackie Bradley will be in right field against right-handed pitchers. Manager John Farrell estimated Victorino is at 90 percent.

Victorino (hamstring) has been activated from the DL and will get the start in right field Monday, Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe reports.

As expected, Victorino will make his return to the Red Sox after playing a full nine innings at Double-A Portland on Saturday. He figures to take over as the primary right fielder, though manager John Farrell noted that Jackie Bradley will continue to see playing time against right-handers.

Victorino (hamstring) is expected to be activated from the DL on Monday, Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe reports.

Victorino will progress to a full nine innings with Double-A Portland on Saturday after going 0-for-3 with a strikeout in his first rehab game Friday. Assuming there are no complications with the hamstring, Victorino will rejoin the big club Sunday and return to his role as the primary right fielder in the series opener against Oakland.

Victorino (hamstring) began a rehab assignment Friday, going 0-for-3 while playing six innings in right field for Double-A Portland.

Victorino will suit up again for the Sea Dogs on Saturday and is expected to join the Red Sox in Toronto on Sunday. He could be activated in time for Monday's series opener against the Athletics in Oakland.

Victorino (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Portland on Friday, the Boston Globe reports.

The plan calls for Victorino to play Friday and Saturday and, if all goes well, he could rejoin Boston in time for a series in Oakland next week.

Victorino (hamstring) isn't expected to be activated from the 15-day DL until next week at the earliest, Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal reports.

Victorino is tentatively scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Friday at Double-A Portland, where he'll likely play at least two games before the Red Sox bring him back to the big club. There's some uncertainty as to whether Victorino will regain his starting right field job upon his return, as the Red Sox have received strong play from Brock Holt and have Rusney Castillo waiting in the wings at Triple-A Pawtucket.

Victorino (hamstring) has been running with more intensity and should be able to start a rehab assignment next week, the Boston Globe reports. Manager John Farrell suggested Victorino would heat to Triple-A Pawtucket or Double-A Portland.

Beyond the rehab, the real question is whether or not Victorino returns as the starter in right field. Brock Holt has cooled off a bit after a hot stretch, but isn't an injury risk like Victorino.

Victorino (hamstring) has already increased his running program, and he may start a rehab assignment next week, Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe reports.

While Victorino's hamstring injuries seem to be never-ending, it sounds as if this latest one may only sideline him for the minimum 15 days. In his absence, the Red Sox have more at-bats available for Allen Craig, Daniel Nava and Brock Holt.

Victorino (hamstring) was placed on the 15-day DL on Saturday, the Boston Herald's Michael Silverman reports.

As has been the case fairly regularly since 2013, Victorino is dealing with a hamstring injury, and will be out at least until early May. The Red Sox are more than capable of replacing Victorino with a combination of Allen Craig, Daniel Nava and Brock Holt. Given Victorino's recent track record, this may not be his last stay on the DL this year and in shallower leagues his uneven playing time makes him difficult to roster.

Victorino (hamstring) remains out of the lineup Saturday against the Orioles, CSNNE's Sean McAdam reports.

Hamstring issues have sidelined Victorino on six separate occasions over the past two seasons, so it should come as no surprise that he is once again missing time with that ailment. Allen Craig will get the start in right field and Victorino should be considered day-to-day.

Victorino (hamstring) remains out of the lineup Friday against the Orioles, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Victorino's workload is expected to be limited as he continues to recover from a minor hamstring issue. He didn't play Thursday, and won't Friday either, but could be in and out of the lineup moving forward.

Victorino (hamstring) may have a lightened workload as he recovers from his minor injury, Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal reports.

Victorino is out of the lineup for Thursday's game in Tampa Bay, and while the Red Sox don't expect him to miss extended time, the 34-year-old outfielder may get some extra days off over the next few weeks. Healthy or not, Victorino may eventually be in danger of losing some playing time, as the Red Sox still have excellent outfield depth, and the veteran is off to a slow start.

Victorino (hamstring) is out of the lineup Thursday, CSNNE's Sean McAdam reports.

His hamstring injury is not believed to be serious, and he could get back into the lineup sometime in this weekend's series in Baltimore. Daniel Nava will get the start in right field Thursday against the Rays.

Victorino's hamstring injury is not serious, and he should not miss any extended time.

This is said to be a nagging hamstring injury, something he has dealt with many times in the past. The Red Sox were likely going to rest Victorino Thursday anyways, so he could be back in the lineup as early as Friday.

Victorino left Wednesday's game due to right hamstring tightness, Mike Silverman of the Boston Herald reports.

Victorino has dealt with his fair share of hamstring issues in the past, so the team is likely taking an extra cautious approach. Look for Allen Craig to extra reps in the short term if Victorino has to miss time, as Rusney Castillo remains without a clear timetable for his return to game action.

Victorino was removed from Wednesday's game in the fifth inning.

Victorino was replaced by Allen Craig after going 0-for-1 at the dish to start the game. No word on the nature of the injury has surfaced, but he may have shaken something up during a stolen base attempt earlier in the contest.

Victorino will make his fourth consecutive start in right field after experiencing rib soreness last week, but is expected to get a day off Thursday, Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal reports.

Victorino crashed into the right field wall in last Friday's contest and was later scratched from the lineup Saturday, but he's been able to return to the lineup without any incident. Should he get the day off Thursday, Daniel Nava will likely fill in and assume the right field duties.

Victorino (ribs) is starting in right field Sunday against the Orioles.

Victorino was a late scratch in Saturday's lineup due to rib soreness, but his crash with the right field wall Friday will only keep him out of action one game. The 34-year-old is 3-for-24 at the dish to start the year, and is still in search of his first extra-base hit of the season.

Victorino was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to soreness in his ribs, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

The soreness is presumably the result of Victorino crashing into the right field wall at Fenway Park on Friday night. Manager John Farrell initially said Victorino was fine, but the 34-year-old will need at least one day to let the discomfort subside. Daniel Nava will get the start in Victorino's absence.
