Speaking with reporters, Red Sox manager Alex Cora revealed Bregman woke up feeling worse and could be heading for a stint on the injured list. Naturally, this led to speculation that three-time All-Star third baseman Rafael Devers could fill in defensively for Bregman, but that will not be the case.

The Boston Red Sox have made a surprising decision on who will be their third baseman after Alex Bregman left Friday's game injured.

Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman was removed in the fifth inning of Friday’s opening game of a doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles after what appeared to be a lower-body injury. Bregman singled sharply to left field and made a wide turn before retreating to the first-base bag.
