Red Sox Players Grapple with Illness as Opening Day Approaches

As spring training progresses, the Boston Red Sox are aiming for a better season after struggling in recent years. Outfielder Wilyer Abreu has faced a gastrointestinal issue but remains hopeful for a timely return by Opening Day. Meanwhile, pitcher Brayan Bello is designated as a 'full go' despite a shoulder issue that may see him start the season on the injured list, although the team is optimistic about his quick return. The team is also dealing with a stomach bug affecting several players, which has raised concerns about their health as the season approaches. In a positive note, top prospect Kristian Campbell has impressed in spring training, drawing comparisons to star athletes for his performance. The Red Sox will open the 2025 season against the Texas Rangers on March 27.
