Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman could be nearing a trip to the injured list after leaving Friday’s game with right quadriceps tightness, manager Alex Cora said. “He’s getting an MRI. He’s sore,” Cora said at Fenway Park on Saturday morning before Boston was set to face the Baltimore Orioles in the first game of a split doubleheader.

Update: Manager Alex Cora said the MRI revealed a “significant injury” to Alex Bregman’s right quad. Cora described it as being similar to the quad injury Bregman had in 2021 when he missed from June 17-Aug. 25 on the injured list.

The Boston Red Sox had a pretty rough weekend, to say the least. Boston getting infielder Marcelo Mayer to the big leagues was positive, but most of the rest of the weekend was pretty negative. The Red Sox went 2-2 against the last place Baltimore Orioles and also lost star third baseman Alex Bregman for what could be an extended period.
