CHICAGO — Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman returned from the injured list last Friday after missing 43 games with a right quad strain.
Manager Alex Cora outlined the plan for Bregman coming out of the All-Star break. The 31-year-old will play four of the six games on this road trip.
He’s in the lineup for today’s game (Friday) against the Cubs. Cora said Bregman also will play Saturday, then receive an off day Sunday.
The Red Sox then head to Philadelphia to play three games against the Phillies on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Cora said the plan is for Bregman to play Monday and Tuesday, then receive Wednesday off.
Boston has a scheduled off day Thursday before returning to Fenway Park to host the Dodgers next Friday.
“Get Wednesday and Thursday off and then hopefully by Friday he’s a full go,” Cora said.
Bregman attended the Home Run Derby at the All-Star Game on Monday, then flew home Tuesday. Bregman worked out Wednesday at home, then participated in the Red Sox’ optional team practice at Wrigley Field on Thursday.
“He’s in a good spot,” Cora said. “He was able to bounce back from that series (last weekend vs. Tampa). He felt good on Monday.”
