Alex Bregman Should be Good for Game 1 of Wild-Card Series
Alex Bregman (illness) "should be good to go" for Game 1 of the wild-card series on Tuesday in the Bronx against the division-rival New York Yankees, according to chief baseball officer Craig Breslow. Bregman has been sick and away from the team for most of the past two dayshe'sut h's apparently feeling better and will be ready for the start of the playoffs. He traveled separately from the team to New York and was on the field for a workout at Yankee Stadium on Monday, according to Tim Healey of Newsday. The 31-year-old hit just .216 in September to close out the regular season, so Boston will be hoping he can turn things around now that they are in the postseason. In his career against Fried, he's gone 5-for-9 with a home run and two RBI in 12 plate appearances. Against lefties this year, Bregman hit a strong .319 (36-for-113), but with only three of his 18 home runs.
