Red Sox 'Alex Bregman to get MRI at Quad injuries, not in the line -up against Orioles

After Boston Red Sox left the third Baseman Alex Bregman on Friday in the third inning, he will get an MRI on his quad.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora confirmed reporters that Bregman carried out the imaging on Saturday to determine the extent of the injury. The two-time all-star is not in the line-up for game 1 of the Doubleheader on Saturday with the Baltimore Orioles.

Cora also noticed that Rafael Devers probably does not take over on the third basis when Bregman goes to the injured list, but he did not rule out the Shortstop prospective Marcelo Mayer.

The injury occurred when Bregman drove the Orioles Pitcher Cade Povich and took a large base around the first basis before returning into his pocket. He signaled a trainer and almost immediately went from the field to the changing room.

The Orioles and Red Sox were supposed to play a Doublehead on Friday, but the second game was rained. You have planned it for Saturday, with the first game started at 1:10 p.m. ET.

Bregman told reporters after the game that he felt “so far” good, but after a night they would learn more to see how his quad would react:

“Obviously it is only day after day. I have the feeling that we will know a lot more tomorrow after sleeping after we can see and see how it is presented in the morning. But my whole strength is still there at the moment.

When Bregman described the injury, he continued to have a quad injury with the Houston astros during the 2021 season, which felt “much worse” than this. He spent more than two months with the IL due to this injury.

Losing Bregman for a long time is a big blow to set up Boston. He meets .299/.385/.553 and is second in the team with 11 Homers in 51 games.

Eric Sogard begins in the first game of the Doubleader on Saturday in the third base. Mayer, who is interested in Boston's farm system that comes in 2025, achieved with nine Homern in 43 games at Triple-A .271/.347/.471.
