Alex Bregman’s schedule Monday included hitting, fielding ground balls, running and working out in the weight room. When might the Red Sox activate him from the IL?

In November, the Red Sox signed closer Aroldis Chapman, now an eight-time All-Star. Garrett Crochet, who arrived via trade in December, is making his second appearance. And Alex Bregman, who Cora previously coached in 2017 for the Houston Astros, is headed to his third Midsummer Classic.

It sounds like there's a chance Alex Bregman could return to the Red Sox lineup ahead of the MLB All-Star break.
