Alex Bregman Considering Using Torpedo Bat

Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman said he used a torpedo bat in the batting cages and on the field during batting practice on Wednesday before the game in Baltimore against the division-rival Orioles, but he's unsure yet if he'll use it in the game. Bregman is batting third against Orioles right-hander Zach Eflin. The 31-year-old veteran could be looking to get his bat going early on in his first year in Boston after a number of high-profile MLB players have seen rousing success, especially in the power department, while using torpedo bats so far this season. In his first five contests with the BoSox heading into Wednesday's contest, Bregman has gone 5-for-22 with a stolen base, one walk and five strikeouts in 23 plate appearances. If Bregman does start using the torpedo bat in games, fantasy managers will be hoping it will lead to more power for the two-time All-Star.

Alex Bregman Likely To Begin The Year At Third Base

The Athletic's Jen McCaffrey writes that it seems increasingly likely that Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman will begin the season the team's third baseman, and Rafael Devers (shoulders) will start at designated hitter. However, manager Alex Cora has refused to address the situation. It also makes sense with Masataka Yoshida likely to begin the year on the injured list after having offseason shoulder surgery. Bregman hasn't played second base at all this spring, and Devers has yet to play in a Grapefruit League game. With Bregman likely to start at the hot corner in his first year in Beantown, prospect Kristian Campbell, Vaughn Grissom and David Hamilton are all competing for playing time at second base. Campbell has the most fantasy upside, both short- and long-term.

Alex Bregman Goes Through First Workout

According to Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic, third baseman Alex Bregmanwent through his first workout as a member of the Boston Red Sox. The third baseman took part in batting practice and fielding drills. Manager Alex Cora noted that Bregman is a Gold Glove third baseman and could be a "Gold Glove second baseman" if he shifts to that position as well. When Bregman initially signed his three-year deal with the Red Sox, there was speculation he would move to the keystone, as Rafael Devers is already the team's third baseman. However, given the emergence of second base prospect Kristian Campbell, Bregman may be deployed at several positions throughout the season. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status during spring training, as he could see his fantasy value increase if he were to pick up multi-positional eligibility. Last summer, he posted a .260/.315/.453 slash line with 26 home runs with the Astros.
