Overview
- Alex Bregman left Friday’s game against the Orioles in the fifth inning due to right quadriceps tightness, confirmed by the Red Sox.
- The injury occurred as Bregman pulled up awkwardly after rounding first base following a hit off the Green Monster at Fenway Park.
- Abraham Toro replaced Bregman as a pinch-runner, and Nick Sogard shifted from first base to third to cover the vacancy.
- In his first season with Boston, Bregman has been a key contributor, hitting .299 with 11 home runs and 35 RBIs across 51 games.
- If Bregman requires a stint on the injured list, top infield prospect Marcelo Mayer could be called up to bolster the Red Sox’s injury-hit infield.
