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.

Alex Bregman said his quad strain is similar to the one he suffered in 2021, when he missed over two months of action.

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.
