I hope it&#8217;s at the end of this week.&#8221;\n\nThe Boston team concludes its three-game series against Colorado on Wednesday, and then hosts Tampa Bay for a four-game series that runs from Thursday to Sunday, marking the end of the first half of the season.\n\nThe Red Sox had high expectations for Bregman, 31, after his arrival as a free agent with a three-year, $120 million contract during the offseason. Before his injury, the player was maintaining an impressive pace, with a batting average of .299, 11 home runs, and 35 RBIs. Monday marked his 40th game off the field.\n\nThe injury is similar to the one he suffered in 2021 in his left quadriceps, which cost him 58 games. However, Bregman is hopeful and believes he can return without needing to play in the minors.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re still going to talk about it as a group,&#8221; Bregman said. &#8220;I think we&#8217;ll have another conversation. But I feel like I can play and be ready to go.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<cite>Alex Bregman<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe timing of his possible return coincides with his selection for his third All-Star team as a reserve. However, Bregman does not believe he can participate in the game.\n\nAlthough he could attend and take his son to the Home Run Derby, he will dedicate the rest of the break to maintaining his physical condition in preparation for the second half of the season.\n\n&#8220;What I need to do is, hopefully, play again at the end of this week,&#8221; he stated, &#8220;and use the All-Star break to continue strengthening myself, work on my leg, and make sure we continue the progression the right way.&#8221;","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bregman Could Return Before the All-Star Game Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman expressed optimism about the possibility of rejoining the team without going through a rehabilitation assignment in the minor leagues.
