FORT MYERS, Fla. — Craig Kimbrel is away from Boston’s spring training camp while his infant daughter has surgery. Kimbrel’s wife Ashley gave birth to the couple’s first child, Lydia Joy, in November. Lydia Joy was born with a heart ailment and had a first medical procedure when she was a few days old. Under new manager Alex Cora, Kimbrel could be used earlier in games in important situations. We’re talking the middle of the lineup, eighth inning, certain situations — what I feel is game on the line.”——More AP baseball: https://apnews.com/tag/MLBbaseball
