Red Sox Third Baseman Alex Bregman Rests Quad, Expected Back Friday

Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman sat out Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins as a precaution to rest his right quadriceps, which he had previously strained this season. Manager Alex Cora expects Bregman to return to the lineup on Friday when the team faces Houston, after Abraham Toro started in his place. Bregman, a three-time All-Star, is batting a career-best .298 with 14 home runs and 44 RBI in 64 games.
