Red Sox 3B Alex Bregman starts running program, still far from returning from quad strain
Briefly

Red Sox manager Alex Cora provided an update on Alex Bregman's rehabilitation following a strained quadriceps sustained on May 23. Bregman has begun a running program but is still a ways from baseball activities. Meanwhile, Kutter Crawford is set to throw a bullpen session as he recovers from patellar tendinitis. Bregman's absence has affected the team's performance, leading to nine losses out of 13 games since his injury. The team is hopeful for progress but remains cautious about both players' recoveries.
"The progression is going well," Cora said before the Red Sox continued their series against the New York Yankees. "Let's see how he feels tomorrow and then we'll go from there, and obviously we're still far away from him starting the baseball progression."
Bregman has been out since May 23 with a significant strain, similar to his left quad strain that cost him 58 games for the Houston Astros in 2021.
Crawford hasn't pitched in a game this year because of patellar tendinitis in his right knee. Cora had said Monday that the 29-year-old right-hander would start a rehab assignment this week.
