Bregman went 1-for-4 in Friday's 5-4 win over Tampa Bay.
Bregman was activated from the injured list Friday after missing 43 games due to a quadriceps injury. He had batted third prior to the injury but was moved to second in the order Friday. Bregman returned to a team that traded Rafael Devers, promoted top prospect Roman Anthony and welcomed back veteran Masataka Yoshida off the injured list, so the spots in the upper third of the batting order could fluctuate.

Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Expected return Friday
Rotowire
Bregman (quadriceps) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Friday's game against the Rays, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
All signs point to Bregman's return Friday, including the team's decision to option David Hamilton to Triple-A Worcester following Thursday's series-opening 4-3 win over Tampa Bay. The team hedged for a few days as to whether Bregman would be activated, but manager Alex Cora said Thursday that the injured infielder would start two of the three remaining games against the Rays. It makes sense that Bregman would play Friday and Sunday with a day off Saturday.

Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Return before break looking likely
Rotowire
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Wednesday that Bregman (quadriceps) has "a really good chance" of being activated from the 10-day injured list before the All-Star break, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Cora previously didn't rule out Bregman from returning this week but noted that it would depend on how the third baseman came out of workouts Monday and Tuesday. Given Cora's optimistic tone Wednesday, it's safe to assume Bregman's workouts went well. On Thursday, the Red Sox begin a four-game set against the Rays to close out the first half, and Bregman will likely be activated at some point during that series. Bregman has been out since late May due to a strained right quad.

Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Return this week not ruled out
Rotowire
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Monday that Bregman (quadriceps) will be activated from the 10-day injured list "sooner rather than later," Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
According to Cora, Bregman "feels great" and will go through "heavy" workouts Monday and Tuesday. Cora did not rule out Bregman being activated later this week during the team's series against the Rays, but a lot will depend on how the third baseman bounces back from Monday's and Tuesday's workouts. Bregman has been sidelined since late May due to a strained right quad.

Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Will be reassessed this weekend
Rotowire
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Monday that Bregman (quadriceps) is "feeling great" and will have his status reassessed this weekend, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
The reassessment had been scheduled to take place at the six-week mark of Bregman's absence from a right quad strain. Cora indicated last week that Bregman would likely be sidelined through the All-Star break. However, the skipper added Monday that Bregman is "close to 100 percent," per Rob Bradford of WEEI.com, so the Red Sox could have some wiggle room with his timetable.

Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Taking swings Friday
Rotowire
Bregman (quadriceps) will hit Friday and take groundballs Saturday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Bregman has been running since the start of June, but he hadn't yet resumed baseball activities.

Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Likely out through All-Star break
Rotowire
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Wednesday that it "looks like" Bregman (quadriceps) won't return until after the All-Star break, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Bregman has already missed a month with a right quad strain. While he has progressed in a running program, he has not yet resumed baseball activities. Bregman and the Red Sox have expressed hope that he could skip a rehab assignment, but given that his absence is now expected to extend to the second half, some rehab games seem likely.

Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Doing well in running program
Rotowire
Bregman (quadriceps) is continues to make progress in running program but has yet to resume baseball activities as of Saturday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Bregman received a positive report from his latest round of testing Wednesday, but he still looks to be at least a few more days away from resuming full baseball activities. He's been on the injured list since May 24 due to a strained right quad, and given that he's missed nearly a month, he may require a rehab assignment after he had previously expressed hope that he would be able to return from the 10-day injured list without heading to the farm beforehand.

Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Could skip rehab assignment
Rotowire
Bregman (quadriceps) said Friday he might skip a minor-league rehab assignment and is running at about 50 percent, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Bregman opted not to provide a target return date, but the third baseman appears to be making good progress in his recovery from a strained right quad. If Bregman foregoes a rehab assignment, he could fast-track his return. Still, he seems to be multiple weeks out.

Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Officially placed on IL
Rotowire
The Red Sox placed Bregman on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a right quadriceps strain.
Bregman injured his right quad while rounding first base in the fifth inning of Friday's 19-5 win over Baltimore. Manager Alex Cora said Saturday that Bregman is dealing with a "significant" strain similar to the one he sustained in 2021 with the Astros, which caused the veteran third baseman to miss over 50 games, per Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald. A similar timeline would put Bregman on pace to return in late July after the All-Star break, though the Red Sox should have a more clearer target date available for him once he's able to resume baseball activities. Boston called up infield prospect Marcelo Mayer from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move, and the youngster could get a look in an everyday role at third base while Bregman is on the shelf.

Red Sox's Alex Bregman: IL stint expected
Rotowire
The Red Sox are expected to place Bregman (quad) on the 10-day injured list Saturday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
Bregman was removed from Friday's game with right quad tightness while running to first base. That the Red Sox are planning to promote Marcelo Mayer in time for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against Baltimore indicates Bregman, who was held out of the first game, appears destined for a stint on the injured list. Bregman's loss will be a blow to Boston, as he was hitting .299 with a .938 OPS through 51 games, but it gives the organization a chance to get a look at its top infield prospect.
