4 years agoThe Houston Astros placed third baseman Alex Bregman (quadriceps) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a strained left quadriceps. Catcher Garrett Stubbs was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land in a corresponding move. Bregman injured himself in the first inning of Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers while running to first base and hobbled off the field. Manager Dusty Baker said there isn't a timetable for Bregman's return, so fantasy managers need to prepare for a potentially lengthy absence. The 27-year-old is hitting .275/.359/.428 with a 119 OPS+, seven home runs, 34 RBI, 37 runs scored and a steal in 59 games this season and must be stashed in all formats for however long he's out. Abraham Toro is starting at the hot corner on Thursday and is likely to see the majority of starts there with Bregman injured. The switch-hitting corner infielder has only a single in 12 at-bats this year, but the increased playing time alone will make him attractive in AL-only formats.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

23 hours agoBoston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman said he used a torpedo bat in the batting cages and on the field during batting practice on Wednesday before the game in Baltimore against the division-rival Orioles, but he's unsure yet if he'll use it in the game. Bregman is batting third against Orioles right-hander Zach Eflin. The 31-year-old veteran could be looking to get his bat going early on in his first year in Boston after a number of high-profile MLB players have seen rousing success, especially in the power department, while using torpedo bats so far this season. In his first five contests with the BoSox heading into Wednesday's contest, Bregman has gone 5-for-22 with a stolen base, one walk and five strikeouts in 23 plate appearances. If Bregman does start using the torpedo bat in games, fantasy managers will be hoping it will lead to more power for the two-time All-Star.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

3 weeks agoThe Athletic's Jen McCaffrey writes that it seems increasingly likely that Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman will begin the season the team's third baseman, and Rafael Devers (shoulders) will start at designated hitter. However, manager Alex Cora has refused to address the situation. It also makes sense with Masataka Yoshida likely to begin the year on the injured list after having offseason shoulder surgery. Bregman hasn't played second base at all this spring, and Devers has yet to play in a Grapefruit League game. With Bregman likely to start at the hot corner in his first year in Beantown, prospect Kristian Campbell, Vaughn Grissom and David Hamilton are all competing for playing time at second base. Campbell has the most fantasy upside, both short- and long-term.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

2 months agoAccording to Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic, third baseman Alex Bregman went through his first workout as a member of the Boston Red Sox. The third baseman took part in batting practice and fielding drills. Manager Alex Cora noted that Bregman is a Gold Glove third baseman and could be a "Gold Glove second baseman" if he shifts to that position as well. When Bregman initially signed his three-year deal with the Red Sox, there was speculation he would move to the keystone, as Rafael Devers is already the team's third baseman. However, given the emergence of second base prospect Kristian Campbell, Bregman may be deployed at several positions throughout the season. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status during spring training, as he could see his fantasy value increase if he were to pick up multi-positional eligibility. Last summer, he posted a .260/.315/.453 slash line with 26 home runs with the Astros.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

2 months agoAccording to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com, Boston Red Sox infielder Alex Bregman will see opportunities at several positions in the infield. Cotillo noted that Bregman has already begun to see work at second base and shortstop during his first day of camp. Cotillo noted that the original assumption was that Bregman was viewed as the everyday second baseman when he signed with the Red Sox, as Rafael Devers has covered the hot corner throughout his career in Boston. However, given the team's "enthusiasm" for second base prospect Kristian Campbell, Bregman could be shifted around the infield. If Campbell were to perform well in spring training, Bregman could see action at both the keystone and hot corner, which would then move Devers to the DH spot. This would then move Masataka Yoshida to the outfield, as he was the designated hitter throughout most of the 2024 season. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring Campbell's development during spring training, as he will significantly impact the team's depth chart. Bregman could see his fantasy value increase considerably if he picks up additional positional eligibility.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller
