Red Sox Get Encouraging Update on $120 Million Free Agent Signing
The Boston Red Sox may be getting the spark they desperately need, with star third baseman Alex Bregman making encouraging progress in his recovery from a right quad strain.
Bregman, who landed on the 10-day injured list on May 24, has begun a running progression and is currently traveling with the team for their series against the New York Yankees. Though the injury was initially described by manager Alex Cora as “significant” and similar to the quad strain that sidelined Bregman for over two months in 2021, signs point to a faster recovery this time around.
“If it’s up to him, he’d be playing tonight,” Cora joked ahead of Friday’s series opener in the Bronx. “He’s locked in. He has his date on his mind. We just have to keep working. Obviously, we don’t want to rush, and we have to be very diligent with it. But he’s feeling great.”
Cora admitted the rehab process has gone better than expected, though he declined to reveal a target return date for Bregman.
The three-time All-Star was playing like a true centerpiece before the injury, slashing .299/.385/.553 with 11 home runs, 17 doubles, and 35 RBIs across 51 games. His .938 OPS led Boston at the time of his injury. Bregman signed a three-year, $120 million contract with Boston this offseason and had been a stabilizing force both offensively and defensively at third base.
His absence has been felt, with the Red Sox going 3-7 in their last 10 games and falling to fourth place in the American League East. They now trail the division-leading Yankees by 9.5 games but sit just 4.5 games out of a Wild Card spot.
