Bregman (quadriceps) will hit Friday and take groundballs Saturday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman has been running since the start of June, but he hadn't yet resumed baseball activities. However, the third baseman will begin hitting and fielding groundballs this weekend, which is a big step in his recovery from a right quad strain. He isn't expected to return before the All-Star break, however.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Wednesday that it "looks like" Bregman (quadriceps) won't return until after the All-Star break, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman has already missed a month with a right quad strain. While he has progressed in a running program, he has not yet resumed baseball activities. Bregman and the Red Sox have expressed hope that he could skip a rehab assignment, but given that his absence is now expected to extend to the second half, some rehab games seem likely.

Bregman (quadriceps) has begun his baseball activities progression, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reported Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman has started swinging and fielding, marking the first time he's participated in baseball activities since being placed on the injured list May 24 with a strained right quad. The third baseman had previously indicated he might skip a rehab assignment, so he may only have to clear a few more hurdles before being cleared to return from the 10-day injured list.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that Bregman (quad) will undergo testing Wednesday to see where he's at strength-wise and to determine what's next in his progression, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Recovering from a right quad strain, Bregman resumed running in early June but noted last week he is running at only about 50 percent intensity. It's possible he'll receive the go-ahead Wednesday to accelerate his rehab, but the Red Sox should have more on the third baseman's status later this week. Bregman could skip a rehab assignment, but even if that happens he does not appear close to returning.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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 manager Alex Cora said Friday that Bregman (quadriceps) is feeling better and has started his running progression, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

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 (quad) on the 10-day injured list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman injured his right quad while rounding first base in the fifth inning of Friday's game against Baltimore. Manager Alex Cora told reporters after Saturday's Game 1 extra-innings win that Bregman is dealing with "significant" right quad strain that is similar to the injury he suffered in 2021 with the Astros, which caused the veteran third baseman to miss over 50 regular-season 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. In corresponding moves, the Red Sox transferred Triston Casas (knee) to the 60-day IL and selected Marcelo Mayer's contract from Triple-A Worcester.

The Red Sox are expected to place Bregman (quad) on the 10-day injured list, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

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 to get a look at its top infield prospect.

Bregman (quad) is scheduled to undergo imaging Saturday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman was removed from Friday's game due to right quad tightness and is not in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader. Nick Sogard is starting at third base in the afternoon game.

Bregman exited the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Orioles due to tightness in his right quadriceps. Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bregman left the game in the fifth inning after coming up limping while rounding first base. The third baseman immediately called for a trainer and exited the field, and it's likely he'll continue to be evaluated Friday. Abraham Toro pinch ran for Bregman and is playing first base while Nick Sogard slides over to third base.
