Alex Cora told the Daily News that he expects to play three games with Triple-A Buffalo before being activated from the disabled list next week.

Cora visited a doctor yesterday, after which he threw a baseball, suggesting his injured thumb does not need surgery.

On Monday, SNY’s Kevin Burkhardt reported on air that if Cora is able to throw he will return from the disabled list sooner than expected.

He is eligible to return from the disabled list next Wednesday.

Rubin also provides other pre-game news from Jerry Manuel, including why Omir Santos is out of the lineup tonight.
