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

The Boston Red Sox had a pretty rough weekend, to say the least. Boston getting infielder Marcelo Mayer to the big leagues was positive, but most of the rest of the weekend was pretty negative. The Red Sox went 2-2 against the last place Baltimore Orioles and also lost star third baseman Alex Bregman for what could be an extended period.

The injury is being compared to the one he suffered in 2021 with the Houston Astros, which sidelined him for 50 games. Boston was already thin in the infield before Bregman’s injury. First baseman Triston Casas sustained a season-ending left patellar tendon rupture earlier this month.
