Franchy Cordero working to transition to first base with Worcester Red Sox

Cordero is hitting .365 since he was sent to Worcester. Franchy Cordero's journey back to Major League Baseball could involve a position change to first base. Cordero struggled with the Red Sox when he first arrived in the deal that sent out Andrew Benintendi. He batted .178/.228/.274 in 34 games before he was sent to Worcester with just one home run — a 474-foot blast that still ranks as the Red Sox's longest this season. Still, just one homer was a disappointing number for a player known for power.
