Ahead of Alex Bregman’s return to their lineup Friday, the Red Sox sent down an infielder after Thursday's win.

The Boston Red Sox's long-awaited return of third baseman Alex Bregman is finally here. The star third baseman signed a three-year, $120 million contract this offseason and had exceeded all expectations early on.

Major League Baseball trade deadline has gotten closer, the two guys on the Boston Red Sox's roster who have been talked about the most are outfielder Jarren Duran and closer Aroldis Chapman. The outfield clearly is loaded in Boston and is about to get even trickier on Wednesday as Masataka Yoshida returns to the big leagues.
