Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman sits against Twins to rest previously injured quad
Red Sox manager Alex Cora characterized the move as a precaution, with the third baseman expected back in the lineup Friday against Houston.
'I told him, in the morning, let me know how you feel,' Cora said. 'He feels good with the quad, but a bit tired.'
Abraham Toro started in Bregman's place Wednesday at Minnesota. With Boston off on Thursday, the move gives Bregman two days of rest.
Bregman strained the quad and missed seven weeks earlier in the season. The three-time All-Star is batting a career-best .298 with a .551 slugging percentage, .922 OPS, 44 RBI and 14 home runs in 64 games.

Top EU court rules that soccer governing body FIFA's decisions can be challenged outside Switzerland
BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union's top court ruled on Friday that the decisions of world soccer's governing body FIFA can be challenged outside Switzerland, opening up a system that currently binds athletes, officials and clubs to accept verdicts there. A statement from the European Court of Justice said that tribunals in the 27 EU member states 'must be able to carry out an in-depth review of those awards for consistency with the fundamental rules of EU law.' The ECJ ruling means that EU national courts should be able to review verdicts from the Swiss-based Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Switzerland is not a member of the European Union. The decision could end a decade-long legal fight by Belgian soccer club RFC Seraing and Maltese investment fund Doyen Sports. They opposed FIFA rules prohibiting third-party ownership of a player's registration and transfer rights, and in 2015 asked a commercial court in Brussels to review if those rules breached EU law.
