The Boston Red Sox have been missing Alex Bregman in the middle of the lineup since May but it sounds like there's at least a chance that he couls be days away from returning from his quad injury.

The Boston Red Sox have been without Alex Bregman while he recovers from a quad injury that landed him on the injured list. Alex Cora just dropped a major update on the star third baseman.

Bregman, obviously one of the better third basemen in Major League Baseball, won't be cheap. The Red Sox gave him a player-friendly type of deal, so he can opt out of it after this season if he wants to. With the way he was swinging the bat at the start of the year, many expect that to be the case.
