INSIDE THE GAME: Sox 12, Rays 4 »
May 3, 2008
Alex Cora, who has been sidelined since April 10 because of a sore right elbow, stepped up his on-field workouts today.
The utility infielder turned double play, both as a shortstop and second baseman, with Dustin Pedroia feeding him the ball so Cora could work on throwing to first base. Cora appeared to be able to perform the double-play pivot without any elbow issues hampering him. His throws to first had good zip on them.
Manager Terry Francona said the possibility of Cora going on a rehabilitation assignment in the minor leagues is being talked about by the Sox and Cora.
"I don't think that's something he's real fond of," said Francona of Cora. "We include the player in the discussions but we try to do whatever is in everybody's best interests."

I think Cora should stay with the team and not
go down for rehab. He is a professional and can
be used in the later innings (when a game is not
in jepeorady)to get him ready.
