BOSTON -- Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman was removed in the fifth inning of Friday's opening game of a doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles after what appeared to be a lower-body injury.
Bregman singled sharply to left field and made a wide turn before retreating to the first-base bag. The two-time All-Star motioned to the Red Sox dugout with manager Alex Cora sprinting to check on the status of the team's leading hitter. Bregman didn't bother checking the severity of the injury before heading down the stairs to get it checked out.
