Alex Bregman DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Boston Red Sox infielder Alex Bregman (quad) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. Bregman suffered a quad injury while running the bases during Friday's game. Afterwards, Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that Bregman is going to miss significant time with a quad strain. The injury is similar to the quad strain Bregman suffered in 2021 that caused him to miss 50 games. That being said, Bregman could very well be out until close to the All-Star break. In a corresponding move, top prospect Marcelo Mayer has been recalled from Triple-A. Mayer is viewed as one of the best prospects in baseball and should be an immediate impact player in Boston.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman (quadriceps) is out of the lineup for Game 1 of a scheduled doubleheader on Saturday at Fenway Park against the division-rival Baltimore Orioles, and manager Alex Cora said Bregman is undergoing an MRI exam on his injured right quadriceps after leaving Friday's blowout win early in the fifth inning. Nick Sogard is playing third base and batting fifth, while catcher Carlos Narvaez moves into the cleanup spot against Orioles right-hander Zach Eflin. Although there's a possibility that Bregman returns for Game 2 of the twin bill on Saturday, it's probably unlikely, even if his quad injury is just a day-to-day deal. Narvaez has mostly hit out of the eight-hole for Boston this year, but the catcher is hitting .349 (29-for-83) with a .413 on-base percentage, .602 slugging percentage, five homers, six doubles, 13 RBI and 16 runs in 24 games since April 18.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman (leg) injured himself in Game 1 of a doubleheader on Friday at Fenway Park against the Baltimore Orioles due to what appeared to be a leg injury. Bregman tweaked his leg while rounding first base on a single, but the good news is he was able to walk off the field under his own power. Fantasy managers are going to want to check back after the team puts the 31-year-old through testing, but there's a high probability that he could need a stint on the injured list after immediately calling for the attention of a trainer. Before leaving, Bregman went 1-for-2 with a walk. Nick Sogard moved from first to third base to replace him. Bregman has been one of the team's most consistent hitters in 2025, so losing him for any amount of time would be bad news. If Boston leaves Rafael Devers at DH, Sogard and Abraham Toro would be candidates for playing time at third if Bregman misses additional time.UPDATE: Bregman is dealing with right-quadriceps tightness.
