Instant reactions from the Red Sox’ 2-1 loss to Baltimore Orioles in Game 2 of a doubleheader Saturday at Fenway Park:
Alex Bregman dealing with 'significant' right quad injury as Red Sox place infielder on injured list
Bregman roped a single to left field in the fifth inning, rounded first base, then immediately called for the trainer and exited the game with a slight limp. Bregman told reporters on Saturday that he felt worse than expected. He subsequently underwent an MRI before being placed on the shelf.
Over time, Saturday could be remembered as the day the Red Sox called up star prospect Marcelo Mayer from the minors. But the Sox still had business to take of as Mayer made his way from Worcester to Boston for the second game of Saturday’s doubleheader against the Orioles.
