Bregman has been out for over six weeks due to a quad strain but feels ready to return, possibly by the end of the week. Marcelo Mayer has filled in at third base but may continue in a platoon role. Roman Anthony has established himself as ready for an everyday position. Masataka Yoshida is expected back even sooner than Bregman. The Red Sox' increased pitching depth is being tested due to injuries, prompting reconsideration of their injury management strategies.
Alex Bregman, who has missed over six weeks with a quad strain, says he feels ready to play and hopes to be back real soon, potentially as early as the end of this week.
Unlike Mayer, it doesn't look like fellow rookie Roman Anthony will be getting many days off, though. He's already proven himself ready for an everyday role.
Masataka Yoshida will likely be back even earlier than Bregman, with Wednesday being targeted as his return date.
The Red Sox increased depth has helped through the losses of Kutter Crawford and Tanner Houck, but do they need to rethink some components of their pitching program with an eye towards reducing injuries going forward?
