Boone said he's optimistic that Gregorius will be back at "some point" during the 2019 season and added that there's a "realistic chance he plays the bulk of the season."
He also said the team believes Gregorius suffered the injury during one of their ALDS playoff games against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.
