The Boston Red Sox will activate infielder Alex Bregman from the injured list this weekend, with manager Alex Cora confirming Bregman is expected to play in two of the team’s last three games before the All-Star break. Cora expressed confidence in Bregman’s readiness, noting that he feels good and the team trusts his at-bats. To accommodate the returns of Bregman and Hunter Dobbins, the Red Sox have informed two players that they will be optioned to clear roster space. Additionally, Cora addressed the challenge of managing a surplus of starting-caliber outfielders, outlining plans to handle the lineup decisions moving forward. The team also featured Brockton native AJ Dybantsa, who threw out the ceremonial first pitch prior to the Red Sox game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park.
