Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman sat out Boston’s game Wednesday against the Minnesota Twins to rest the right quadriceps he strained earlier this season.

Third baseman Alex Bregman is in his first season with the Boston Red Sox after signing a three-year, $120 million contract this past offseason with opt-out clauses after the first and second years.

After he was initially penciled in as the Boston Red Sox's starting third baseman for Wednesday's series finale against the Minnesota Twins, Alex Bregman was moved to the bench.
