While filling in on Ben Cherington's team-produced radio show this afternoon with Joe Block, assistant general manager Steve Sanders said Joey Bart (concussion) is 'progressing well' on his rehab assignment and Dauri Moreta (Tommy John) has had his extended.
Bart caught nine innings for Indianapolis last night and has gone 2 for 10 with two RBIs, three walks and four strikeouts in four games. Sanders said Bart is scheduled to catch again today.
Sanders added they extended Moreta's rehab assignment "a little over a week ago" which is something they can do if "it's in the player's best interest." Moreta has made 15 appearances with Indianapolis and has produced a 3.55 ERA and 1.58 WHIP over 12 2/3 innings. He's struck out 18.
"I think he's getting close," Sanders said.
