Sandoval Returns on Memorial Day
Monday, May 25
Gordon Edes of ESPNBoston.com confirmed that Sandoval would be returning to the Red Sox lineup and batting fifth against the Minnesota Twins.
Sandoval's health hasn't been a big problem in his career. He missed 99 total games from 2011 to 2012, but he appeared in at least 141 games in four other seasons dating back to 2009. Interestingly, during those two injury-riddled years, the 28-year-old made his only two All-Star Game appearances.
The Red Sox signed Sandoval away from the San Francisco Giants in the offseason to boost an offense that ranked 18th in Major League Baseball with 634 runs scored in 2014. He's been as consistent as any hitter since his debut in 2008.
