Bill Koch @billkoch25 · 42m Cora said Schwarber will continue to work pregame at first base when possible.
'Whenever we feel he's ready to play first base, we'll use him.'
'It's not only the ground balls. It's that hit to right field where you have to be the cutoff.' #RedSox
Cora said Matt Andriese will pitch for Worcester today. Ryan Brasier will pitch again on Sunday. #RedSox

Bill Koch @billkoch25 · 49m Cora on Sale -- 'That's his comfort zone -- on that mound facing guys every five days.'
'He feels stronger than ever, healthier than ever. Sometimes you have to take a step back to keep moving forward.' #RedSox
Cora on Chris Sale -- 'He's nervous right now. He's excited. There are a lot of emotions.'
'From our end, we're just happy the process is over.' #RedSox
Cora on Sale's last outing in August 2019 -- 'He pitched well that day. He did an outstanding job. Then two days later he wasn't able to throw a bullpen.'
'He started talking about what he felt throughout the outing. I was like, 'Okay, this doesn't sound too promising.'' #RedSox

Chris Cotillo @chriscotillo · 47m Cora says Brasier's stuff was fine and that this outing won't change their plan with him. He'll pitch again Sunday... sounds like Red Sox could activate him for Tuesday in NY.
