After exiting Friday's game in the third inning, Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman has been placed on the injured list and could miss an extended period of time.

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.

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