Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman (quadriceps) is "feeling great," and his six-week reassessment is coming this weekend, according to the Boston Herald's Gabrielle Starr. "The way he's talking about it he's close to 100 percent," manager Alex Cora said. While Bregman has made excellent progress and feels great, we already know that the BoSox plan on holding him out until the start of the second half of the season on July 18. Until then, rookie Marcelo Mayer will continue to serve as Boston's third baseman against right-handed pitchers. Fantasy managers will be hoping that Bregman can continue to lean into his power when he comes off the injured list, as he was hitting a strong .299 (59-for-197) with 11 home runs, 35 RBI, 32 runs scored and a steal in his first 51 games with Boston before his quad injury.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman (quadriceps) did some running at Fenway Park on Saturday before the game against the division-rival Toronto Blue Jays, according to MLB.com's Ian Browne. Bregman did some hitting on Friday and is also scheduled to take ground balls on Saturday as he begins baseball activities and nears a return from the 10-day injured list. While the 31-year-old veteran two-time All-Star is making good progress, the BoSox are expected to continue to play it cautious with Bregman, and he's not expected to return to the big leagues until after the mid-July All-Star break. Although rookie Marcelo Mayer is on the bereavement list this weekend, he's expected to continue to be Boston's primary third baseman until Bregman returns. Bregman has leaned more into his power in 2025 and was one of the team's best hitters before his quad injury.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman (quadriceps) did some hitting on Friday and will take some grounders on Saturday, according to manager Alex Cora. Bregman has been feeling really good, but there's still no timetable for him to start a minor-league rehab assignment, and all signs are pointing toward him not returning to the big-league roster until the start of the second half of the season. The 31-year-old two-time All-Star and former Silver Slugger winner has been out since late May but started running early in June and is making good progress. However, the BoSox aren't going to rush him back with the end of the first half of the year quickly approaching. The former first-rounder has leaned more into his power in his first year in Boston and was hitting a strong .299 (59-for-197) with 11 home runs and 35 RBI before his injury. Bregman should be stashed in all fantasy leagues.

It "looks like" Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman (quadriceps) won't be back until after the mid-July All-Star break, according to manager Alex Cora. There was some hope that Bregman would be back to close out the first half of the 2025 season, but the Red Sox aren't going to push the 31-year-old veteran, and hopefully he'll be all systems go on July 18. Bregman has been out a month with a strained right quadriceps muscle and will likely require at least a short minor-league rehab assignment before he rejoins the big-league roster as the starting third baseman. When the two-time All-Star does return, expect rookie infielder Marcelo Mayer to move over to the keystone regularly. Bregman has leaned more into his power in his first year in Beantown and was hitting a strong .299/.385/.553 with a .938 OPS and 11 homers in 197 at-bats before his injury. Keep him stashed in all fantasy leagues.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman (quadriceps) has a $40 million salary and the chance to opt into two more years at $40 million annually, which significantly shortens the list of teams that would be willing to trade for him this summer and take on his deal, according to ESPN's Kiley McDaniel and Jeff Passan. Bregman has leaned more into his power in his first year in Boston, with his barrel rate, maximum exit velocity, average launch angle and hard-hit rate all at career-highs. The 31-year-old two-time All-Star and former Silver Slugger winner is currently on the 10-day injured list with a quad injury, but before that, he was hitting .299 (59-for-197) with 11 home runs and 35 RBI as one of the team's most consistent hitters. The Red Sox and fantasy managers can only hope he'll be able to pick up where he left off when he returns from the IL.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman (quad) will undergo testing on Wednesday to see where he's at in terms of strength and progression, reports Christopher Smith of MassLive.com. The 31-year-old has been on the injured list since May 24 with a right quad strain, and has so far only done light running as part of his rehab. The tests should provide a clearer timeline for when he's expected to return, where he'll look to continue a very strong start to the season. He slashed .299/.385/.553 with 11 home runs in 51 games prior to the injury.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman (quadriceps) said that he might skip a minor-league rehab assignment, which would speed his return from the 10-day injured list for a strained right quadriceps. Bregman said his follow-up tests this week showed good healing and he is running at around 50% intensity. There is still no concrete return timetable for the 31-year-old veteran, but it appears he could be back before the All-Star break in mid-July. In the meantime, rookie Marcelo Mayer and Abraham Toro should continue to split playing time at the hot corner in Boston, with Mayer on the strong side of the platoon against right-handed pitching. Bregman was one of Boston's best hitters at the time of his injury and will return to a .299/.385/.553 slash line with a .938 OPS, 11 home runs, 35 RBI and 32 runs scored over his 197 at-bats.

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that third baseman Alex Bregman (quadriceps) is feeling a lot better, has started his running progression and is "locked in." Bregman appears to be making good progress, but fantasy managers may want to temper expectations after it was originally announced that he was dealing with a significant right-quadriceps strain in his leg. There's still no timetable for the 31-year-old veteran to return to the big-league roster, and it's very possible that won't happen until early July, depending on when Bregman is cleared to begin a minor-league rehab assignment. Until he's able to return, rookie prospect Marcelo Mayer should continue to start at the hot corner against right-handed pitchers. Bregman was one of Boston's best hitters before getting hurt, so he should be stashed in all fantasy leagues while he heals up.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman (quadriceps) said his recovery from a right-quadriceps strain is going at "warp speed." "About 10 times better," Bregman said on Tuesday. Although an MRI exam showed that his injury was similar to a left-quad strain that kept him out for almost 10 weeks in 2021 with the Houston Astros, it looks like the 31-year-old veteran won't miss nearly that much time this time around. His recovery is going well, but both Bregman and the Red Sox aren't putting a timeline on his return from the 10-day injured list. All fantasy managers can do is stash Bregman in an IL spot and hope he's as productive as he was at the plate when he eventually returns. In the meantime, rookie Marcelo Mayer has been filling in at the hot corner in Beantown against right-handed pitchers. Bregman was hitting .299 with 11 homers, 35 RBI and 32 runs in 197 at-bats at the time of his injury.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman (quadriceps) is making good progress due to a right-quadriceps injury that landed him on the 10-day injured list on May 24. "Getting treatment, feeling better. Good to see him around. Obviously helping everybody. But in good spirits. So it was a good week for him," manager Alex Cora said. It's good news for the 31-year-old veteran, but it's still hard to estimate when he might be back at the hot corner in Beantown. Until he's able to return -- he could miss anywhere from six to eight weeks -- rookie infielder Marcelo Mayer should hold down duties at third base in Boston. All fantasy managers can do is stay patient and hope Bregman returns sooner or later and picks up where he left off offensively. Before his injury, Bregman was one of the team's most consistent bats with a .299/.385/.553 slash line, 11 homers, 35 RBI and 32 runs scored in 197 at-bats.

Boston Red Sox infielder Alex Bregman (quad) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. Bregman suffered a quad injury while running the bases during Friday's game. Afterwards, Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that Bregman is going to miss significant time with a quad strain. The injury is similar to the quad strain Bregman suffered in 2021 that caused him to miss 50 games. That being said, Bregman could very well be out until close to the All-Star break. In a corresponding move, top prospect Marcelo Mayer has been recalled from Triple-A. Mayer is viewed as one of the best prospects in baseball and should be an immediate impact player in Boston.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman (quadriceps) is out of the lineup for Game 1 of a scheduled doubleheader on Saturday at Fenway Park against the division-rival Baltimore Orioles, and manager Alex Cora said Bregman is undergoing an MRI exam on his injured right quadriceps after leaving Friday's blowout win early in the fifth inning. Nick Sogard is playing third base and batting fifth, while catcher Carlos Narvaez moves into the cleanup spot against Orioles right-hander Zach Eflin. Although there's a possibility that Bregman returns for Game 2 of the twin bill on Saturday, it's probably unlikely, even if his quad injury is just a day-to-day deal. Narvaez has mostly hit out of the eight-hole for Boston this year, but the catcher is hitting .349 (29-for-83) with a .413 on-base percentage, .602 slugging percentage, five homers, six doubles, 13 RBI and 16 runs in 24 games since April 18.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman (leg) injured himself in Game 1 of a doubleheader on Friday at Fenway Park against the Baltimore Orioles due to what appeared to be a leg injury. Bregman tweaked his leg while rounding first base on a single, but the good news is he was able to walk off the field under his own power. Fantasy managers are going to want to check back after the team puts the 31-year-old through testing, but there's a high probability that he could need a stint on the injured list after immediately calling for the attention of a trainer. Before leaving, Bregman went 1-for-2 with a walk. Nick Sogard moved from first to third base to replace him. Bregman has been one of the team's most consistent hitters in 2025, so losing him for any amount of time would be bad news. If Boston leaves Rafael Devers at DH, Sogard and Abraham Toro would be candidates for playing time at third if Bregman misses additional time.UPDATE: Bregman is dealing with right-quadriceps tightness.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman went 3-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in his team's 6-5 loss to the Detroit Tigers. His other two hits were singles. The former second-overall pick has continued to enjoy a stellar season at the plate, picking up his sixth performance of at least three hits in 2025. Bregman gave the Red Sox their second lead of the outing in the top of the fourth when he led off the inning with dinger No. 11 of the season -- a 405-foot solo shot off of Tigers' ace Tarik Skubal that exited the bat at 105.3 MPH. It was his second knock off Skubal in the contest that exceeded 104 MPH. The LSU product is striking out a bit more than we're accustomed to, but he's otherwise been spectacular. Through 175 at-bats, Bregman still holds the best average exit velocity (92.4 MPH) and hard-hit rate (47.4%) marks of his career with a superb .314 average. He's probably due for some regression (.258 xBA), but he has outperformed his metrics before and has clearly rebounded this year after a subpar 2024.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman hit his ninth home run of the season and helped power the Red Sox past the Rangers on Wednesday night by a score of 6-4. Bregman went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run, two runs scored, and three RBI in the contest. It was his 200th career home run, and he now has a .274 career batting average and .366 career wOBA through 4,999 regular-season plate appearances. This year, he is hitting .327 in his first year in Boston with a .434 wOBA, 30 RBI, and a 49.2% hard-hit rate, per Statcast. He has been an elite offensive option at the hot corner and has lived up to the big offseason contract he signed through his first 37 games with the Red Sox.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman went 3-for-5 with a home run in Tuesday's 10-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. His other two hits were singles, and he scored three runs. The 31-year-old put the Red Sox up 2-0 in the top of the first inning when he sent a Bowden Francis splitter over the left-field wall at 103.7 MPH. His other two hits came off the bat at over 100 MPH, too, as he's enjoying a stellar start to his career in Boston. Bregman is slashing a superb .331/.401/.570 with 11 doubles, six homers, 23 RBI, and 22 runs scored. He seems to have taken a slight step back in his strikeout percentage (18.2%), but his batted ball metrics have been exceptional. In addition to upping his average exit velocity and hard-hit rate, Bregman has recorded the hardest-hit ball of his career in the early going (109.6 MPH).

Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman had a productive day in a 4-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners on Thursday. Bregman went 2-for-3 with a homer, a walk, and two RBI but it wasn't quite enough in the close loss to Seattle. The veteran infielder hit a solo homer off Seattle starter Bryan Woo in the first inning and later added an RBI single in the third inning. Bregman is off to a hot start for the Red Sox this season, hitting .320 with five homers, 17 runs, 21 RBI, and one steal. He will look to stay hot as the Red Sox begin a weekend series against the Cleveland Guardians.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman has been activated from the paternity list prior to Friday's game against the Chicago White Sox. In a corresponding move, the Red Sox have designated right-handed pitcher Michael Fulmer. Bregman is slated to cover the hot corner and bat third on Friday evening. The 31-year-old was held out of the starting nine for just one contest. Over his last six games, Bregman has enjoyed an impressive offensive surge, as he has posted a .391/.462/.739 line with two doubles and two long balls. Under the hood, he has generated a solid .343 xwOBA while posting an elite 13.6 percent whiff rate. Bregman is worth a look in DFS facing Chicago southpaw Martin Perez as he looks to stay hot at the plate.

The Boston Red Sox placed third baseman Alex Bregman on the paternity list on Wednesday and recalled infielder/outfielder Nick Sogard from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move. Bregman put on a show in Tuesday's win over the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday, going 5-for-5 with two home runs, a double, four RBI and two runs scored, but now he'll miss the series finale in Tampa and potentially the entire weekend series against the Chicago White Sox. The 31-year-old two-time All-Star has so far enjoyed his time in Beantown, as he's slashing .321/.365/.564 with a .929 OPS, four home runs, a league-high seven doubles, a league-high 25 hits, 16 RBI, a stolen base and 10 runs scored in a league-high 78 at-bats. With Bregman out of the lineup on Thursday against the Rays, Romy Gonzalez will fill in at the hot corner and bat fifth against right-hander Zack Littell.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman had an excellent game before heading for paternity leave in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Rays. Bregman went 5-for-5 with two singles, a double, a pair of solo home runs, and four RBI. The 31-year-old lined a third-inning Ryan Pepiot pitch over the right-field wall and later took Hunter Bigge deep to right-center field in the seventh inning. Bregman has had a stellar start to his Red Sox tenure after signing a three-year, $120 million deal this offseason, slashing .321/.365/.564 with four HR, 16 RBI, and a stolen base in 85 plate appearances. The Red Sox's offense has been erratic overall, but Bregman should have plenty of opportunities to provide fantasy value while hitting third in the lineup.
