Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman, who has been sidelined since May 24 with a strained right quad, will "play this weekend," manager Alex Cora said Thursday.
"He's gonna hit, take grounders, then we'll decide what we do," Cora told reporters after Bregman went through a full workout prior to Thursday's game. "He'll play this weekend."
The Red Sox have three games remaining against the Tampa Bay Rays through Sunday, and Bregman could be activated as soon as Friday night without a minor league rehab assignment.
"He's in a great place and we're going to trust the player," Cora told reporters.
