Red Sox’s Alex Cora Provides Important Injury Update on Masataka Yoshida originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Boston Red Sox's lineup is currently missing a player who has been a nearly everyday starter for the team over the last two seasons – and his name is not Rafael Devers.

First, though, Bregman is looking to return to the roster and provide a spark for an underperforming team that enters Monday’s series opener with the Reds at three games below .500 (41-44). The Red Sox are hopeful the healthy returns of both Bregman and Masataka Yoshida will catalyze an offense that has often looked dead in the post-Devers era.

Star third baseman Alex Bregman is getting closer and closer to making his return to the diamond for the Red Sox.
