Red Sox rookie shines in rehab game in Triple-A on Wednesday image

The Boston Red Sox have been firing on all cylinders recently, winning five straight games and sweeping the Toronto Blue Jays.

While they've been doing well, Red Sox rookie outfielder Wilyer Abreu has been working to get back after landing on the injured list with an ankle injury after stumbling on the dugout steps.

On Wednesday night, Abreu appeared in a rehab game for Triple-A Worcester, and he showed off his impressive swing with a home run to right field in the first inning.

Then, in the eighth inning, Abreu smashed another to left-center to extend Worcester's lead to 10-4 over the Columbus Clippers

Boston may be playing well without Abreu, but potentially getting him back for this upcoming series against the Cincinnati Reds would be a huge boost.
