Red Sox's Alex Bregman
Digest more
Alex Bregman’s first game back with the Red Sox since late May had a dramatic flair to it. Bregman went 1 for 4 with a double off the Green Monster as the Red Sox rallied for their eighth straight win when Ceddanne Rafaela's ninth inning homer lifted them over the Tampa Bay Rays 5-4 on Friday night.
For the Red Sox, this final homestand before the All-Star break represents reinforcement week. Fresh off a five-game Minor League rehab assignment, outfielder/designated hitter Masataka Yoshida will most likely make his season debut on Wednesday night in the finale of a three-game series against the Rockies.
If the Boston Red Sox do not send Marcelo Mayer back to Triple-A Worcester, Alex Cora's comments could explain that potential decision.
