Red Sox’s Alex Cora Announces Alex Bregman News on Friday<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After being drafted second overall in the 2015 MLB Draft by the Houston Astros, he spent nine seasons in Houston before signing with Boston as a free agent in the 2024 offseason. He agreed to a three-year, $120 million contract that includes opt-out clauses after the first two seasons and features deferred money.<\/p>\n

Bregman earned that type of commitment by serving as an integral part of the Astros\u2019 postseason runs over the last decade, contributing to two World Series titles. The Red Sox hope his championship pedigree will help them return to October baseball for the first time since 2021.<\/p>\n

Ahead of Friday’s matchup with the Toronto Blue Jays, Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that Bregman hit today and will take grounders tomorrow as he eyes a return shortly after the All-Star break.<\/p>\n

In 52 games he owns a .299 batting average with 11 home runs, 35 RBIs and a .938 OPS, leading the team across multiple offensive categories this year.<\/p>\n

Over his career, Bregman has been selected to two All-Star Games, won both a Gold Glove and a Silver Slugger Award, and delivered repeatedly in postseason play, cementing his reputation as one of the premier third basemen of his generation.<\/p>\n

The Red Sox, currently fighting for a postseason berth, will monitor Bregman\u2019s rehab progress closely, hopeful that his eventual return to the lineup will inject power and stability.<\/p>\n
