The Boston Red Sox have been battling so many injuries throughout this first half of the season, but they're starting to get healthy at a really important stage of their campaign.

According to The Boston Globe, Boston is expected to get reliever Chris Martin and utility man Romy Gonzalez back for their series against the Toronto Blue Jays which will start on Monday.

Martin was placed on the injured list due to anxiety, and he pitched a scoreless, hitless inning for Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.

Gonzalez has missed a couple of weeks due to a hamstring strain. In multiple games for Worcester, he went 6-for-12, including 4-for-6 with three RBIs on Sunday.

The Red Sox are also expected to get Wilyer Abreu, who suffered an ankle injury while tripping down the dugout stairs, for the following series against the Cincinnati Reds. He'll play two rehab games for Worcester starting on Tuesday.
