Alex Bregman of the Boston Red Sox has suffered a severe quad strain, following initial concerns of just "quad tightness". An MRI revealed a serious injury, reminiscent of his 2021 season where he missed considerable time. Manager Alex Cora indicated that Bregman would be out for a significant duration, affecting the team’s performance. Bregman, who has performed well offensively with a batting average of .299, is disappointed with the injury news. Marcelo Mayer has been called up to fill in for Bregman at third base during his absence.
Bregman called the injury "similar to 2021," the season where he missed over two months and 58 games.
The Red Sox needed a right handed hitter with power and a good defender, and he was among the best available options.
Bregman was one of Boston's best offensive players this season, with a batting average of .299 and 35 RBIs.
Cora confirmed, "He's going to be out for a while," indicating Bregman's absence will be extended.
