Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman could be nearing a trip to the injured list after leaving Friday’s game with right quadriceps tightness, manager Alex Cora said. “He’s getting an MRI. He’s sore,” Cora said at Fenway Park on Saturday morning before Boston was set to face the Baltimore Orioles in the first game of a split doubleheader.

In a move that likely signals Alex Bregman is headed for the injured list due to a quad injury, the Boston Red Sox are bringing up star prospect Marcelo Mayer from Triple-A.
