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

Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman will be out awhile with what manager Alex Cora called a significant right quad strain.

Bregman roped a single to left field in the fifth inning, rounded first base, then immediately called for the trainer and exited the game with a slight limp. Bregman told reporters on Saturday that he felt worse than expected. He subsequently underwent an MRI before being placed on the shelf.
