BOSTON -- Alex Bregman believes he could skip a minor-league rehab assignment and be back in the Boston Red Sox lineup before the All-Star break.
The two-time All-Star third baseman, who has been sidelined since May 24 with a strained right quad, said there's even a chance his return could happen by the end of this week.
"Trending toward a return here pretty quickly," Bregman said Monday night after Boston's 9-3 win over the Rockies. "Whether it's the end of this week or first game after the break. One of those two. But hoping it will be the end of this week.
