Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Could skip rehab assignment
Rotowire
Bregman (quadriceps) said Friday he might skip a minor-league rehab assignment and is running at about 50 percent, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Bregman opted not to provide a target return date, but the third baseman appears to be making good progress in his recovery from a strained right quad. If Bregman foregoes a rehab assignment, he could fast-track his return. Still, he seems to be multiple weeks out.

Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Begins running progression
Rotowire
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Friday that Bregman (quadriceps) is feeling better and has started his running progression, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
Bregman landed on the 10-day injured list May 24 after straining his right quad while rounding first base. It was deemed a "significant strain" similar to the one he sustained in 2021 with the Astros, which caused him to miss 58 games, per Starr. How Bregman progresses in his running program will determine when he'll take the next step in his rehab and provide a clearer timeline for his return.
The Red Sox placed Bregman on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a right quadriceps strain.
Bregman injured his right quad while rounding first base in the fifth inning of Friday's 19-5 win over Baltimore. Manager Alex Cora said Saturday that Bregman is dealing with a "significant" strain similar to the one he sustained in 2021 with the Astros, which caused the veteran third baseman to miss over 50 games, per Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald. A similar timeline would put Bregman on pace to return in late July after the All-Star break, though the Red Sox should have a more clearer target date available for him once he's able to resume baseball activities. Boston called up infield prospect Marcelo Mayer from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move, and the youngster could get a look in an everyday role at third base while Bregman is on the shelf.

Red Sox's Alex Bregman: IL stint expected
Rotowire
The Red Sox are expected to place Bregman (quad) on the 10-day injured list Saturday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
Bregman was removed from Friday's game with right quad tightness while running to first base. That the Red Sox are planning to promote Marcelo Mayer in time for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against Baltimore indicates Bregman, who was held out of the first game, appears destined for a stint on the injured list. Bregman's loss will be a blow to Boston, as he was hitting .299 with a .938 OPS through 51 games, but it gives the organization a chance to get a look at its top infield prospect.
