Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Plays hero Sunday
Rotowire
Bregman went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Dodgers.
Bregman provided the winning knock with his two-run shot in the fifth inning. It was his second homer since being activated off the injured list 11 games ago. Also of note, Bregman made a third consecutive start Sunday. Red Sox manager Alex Cora had managed the third baseman's time since returning, never having Bregman start more than two consecutive games.
Bregman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Bregman has acknowledged that he's still not quite 100 percent recovered from the quadriceps strain that kept him on the shelf from May 24 through July 11, so the Red Sox could give him one or two days off per week in an effort to keep him fresh. With Bregman getting a breather Wednesday, Marcelo Mayer will pick up the start at third base.
