Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman could be nearing a trip to the injured list after leaving Friday’s game with right quadriceps tightness, manager Alex Cora said. “He’s getting an MRI. He’s sore,” Cora said at Fenway Park on Saturday morning before Boston was set to face the Baltimore Orioles in the first game of a split doubleheader.

Update: Manager Alex Cora said the MRI revealed a “significant injury” to Alex Bregman’s right quad. Cora described it as being similar to the quad injury Bregman had in 2021 when he missed from June 17-Aug. 25 on the injured list.

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.
