Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman could be nearing a trip to the injured list after leaving Friday’s game with right quadriceps tightness, manager Alex Cora said. “He’s getting an MRI. He’s sore,” Cora said at Fenway Park on Saturday morning before Boston was set to face the Baltimore Orioles in the first game of a split doubleheader.

Bregman singled off the left field wall with two down in the fifth inning Friday. As he made the turn at first, he slowed down as the ball was fielded and thrown back into the infield. As Bregman arrived back at first, he immediately signaled to the dugout that he needed to come out of the game.
