EDGE Analysis

Bregman has acknowledged that he's still not quite 100 percent recovered from the quadriceps strain that kept him on the shelf from May 24 through July 11, so the Red Sox could give him one or two days off per week in an effort to keep him fresh. With Bregman getting a breather Wednesday, Marcelo Mayer will pick up the start at third base.

Bregman is not at 100 percent when running the bases, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

That was evident in the sixth inning in Monday's extra-inning loss to the Phillies when Bregman was unable to score from first base on a Roman Anthony double down the right field line. He eventually scored two pitches later, so his tentative baserunning did not matter. As Cotillo reported when Bregman returned to action prior to the All-Star break, manager Alex Cora said he would not be running hard in certain situations. "When he hits a ground ball, he's not gonna go all-out to first," Cora said. "Those are the rules. If you're gonna do this, it might look bad, but no. We need him healthy and we're gonna keep him healthy." That explains the schedule the Red Sox have placed on Bregman, which has him getting a day off following two consecutive starts. He'll start Tuesday before getting a day off Wednesday,

Bregman entered Sunday's game as a pinch hitter and hit a three-run home run in a 6-1 win over the Cubs.

The Red Sox are managing Bregman's return from a quadriceps injury and held him out of Sunday's starting lineup, but he had an impact off the bench. He helped the team emerge from an offensive slumber that saw the Red Sox score just one run through the first 24 innings of the series. Wilyer Abreu snapped a 21-inning scoreless skid with a two-run homer in the seventh inning, and then Bregman piled on one frame later. Bregman, who finished the game at third base, will start the first two games of the series against Philadelphia on Monday and Tuesday before getting a day off Wednesday.
