Alex Bregman is set to return to the Boston Red Sox after being on the injured list due to a quad strain. David Hamilton is being optioned to Triple-A Worcester to make room on the active roster. Bregman was performing well before his injury, boasting a .299 batting average and 11 home runs. The move to option Hamilton suggests a strategy to provide more playing time to Marcelo Mayer, who has been the primary third baseman. Boston currently holds a Wild Card spot and aims to sustain their winning streak against the Rays.
Before his injury, Bregman was hitting .299 with a .385 on-base percentage and a .553 slugging percentage, highlighting his strong offensive performance this season.
Optioning Hamilton suggests the Red Sox will give Mayer more playing time, likely moving him to second base to accommodate Bregman’s return.
