Red Sox Offer Promising Update On Alex Bregman Return
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The first half of the Boston Red Sox season has left much to be desired. The team reached the halfway mark of the year with a record of 40-41 and plummeting postseason odds, along with a slew of injuries and a trade that shook the baseball world. The most impactful bright spot of this season may be set for a return soon, though. "Red Sox' Alex Bregman hit (Friday)," Christopher Smith of MassLive reported Friday on X."(He) will take grounders (Saturday), Alex Cora says." BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - MAY 23: Alex Bregman #2 of the Boston Red Sox takes the field ahead of game one of a doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park on May 23, 2025 in... BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - MAY 23: Alex Bregman #2 of the Boston Red Sox takes the field ahead of game one of a doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park on May 23, 2025 in Boston, Massachusetts. More Maddie Malhotra/BostonSince trading Rafael Devers, the Red Sox dropped six of their next nine games and rank 29th in MLB in batting average, OBP, and wRC+, and 28th in OPS. Boston desperately needs an injection of offensive prowess, and Bregman is exactly that. Bregman played in 51 of the Red Sox' first 52 games of the season, putting together a monster slash line of .299/.385/.553 with an OPS of .938, 11 homers, and 35 RBI. His 160 OPS+ is second only to his MVP runner-up season in 2019. In addition to his bat, Bregman's glove is just as needed in Boston. The Red Sox currently lead MLB in errors with 69, narrowly overtaking the lowly Colorado Rockies this week. Bregman ranks in the 75th percentile in fielding range, and his 1.0 OAA ties him with Marcelo Mayer for the team lead among infielders. This update is another in a line of positive ones for Boston in regard to Bregman's return. For the Red Sox, his return cannot come soon enough.

Tensions boil over in Marlins-Giants game as benches clear in heated moment
Tensions boiled over during the seventh inning of the Miami Marlins' 12-5 win over the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park on Thursday. Giants first baseman Wilmer Flores struck out in the bottom of the seventh inning and was frustrated with the first base umpire for calling him out on the check swing. As Flores expressed his frustration with the first-base umpire, Marlins pitcher Cade Gibson started towards Flores and started yelling at him before being pushed away by the team's coaching staff. While Gibson was being pushed away, Flores tried to go towards him but was held back by teammate Jung Hoo Lee. The benches and bullpens emptied, but there was never a scrum as the umpires and coaches kept their respective teams on their sides of the field. Order was quickly restored and play resumed. The Marlins, invigorated by the benches clearing, scored four runs in the top of the eighth inning to make it 12-5 and put the game out of reach. The benches clearing was not the only contentious moment in Thursday's game. In the Marlins' 8-5 win over the Giants on Wednesday, the three Giants batters were hit by pitches. The Giants retaliated in the first inning of Thursday's game when starting pitcher Hayden Birdsong drilled Marlins No. 3 hitter Otto Lopez with the first pitch of the at-bat. Both teams were warned following the hit-by-pitch, which Marlins manager Clayton McCullough took issue with. He argued the warning with home plate umpire Alfonso Marquez and was ejected for it. Despite not having their manager for essentially the entirety of the game, the Marlins went on to win and complete the three-game sweep over the Giants. The Marlins (34-45) will look to maintain their winning ways when they take on the Arizona Diamondbacks (41-39) on Friday at 9:40 p.m. ET. The Giants (44-37), who have lost eight of their last 11 games, will look to turn things around when they take on the lowly Chicago White Sox (26-55) on Friday at 7:40 p.m. ET.

Jung Hoo Lee's slump is a symptom of the type of hitter he is — and is likely temporary
The Giants have played .500 ball over their last 73 games. The fast start was a lot of fun, but it wasn't very sustainable, as it turns out. Robbie Ray won't finish with a 20-0 record. Wilmer Flores will fall short of 150 RBIs. A lot of the magic from the first couple weeks was temporary, and that's OK. Even the most optimistic Giants fans knew there were corrections and regressions coming. Advertisement The hope, then, was that there would be enough sustainable brilliance to keep them afloat. Logan Webb would have to keep acing (check). Heliot Ramos would have to hit like 2024 first-half Heliot instead of 2024 second-half Heliot (check). And, of course, Jung Hoo Lee would have to maintain his superstar trajectory. Which he was obviously going to do. You know what happened next: Seasoned consumers of nerd stats know which column is going to get the most attention, and we'll get there. But if it's felt like Lee has been hitting like a sub-Mendoza line hitter over the last month, that's because he has been. He's been a contributor in the field and on the bases, but his slump is one of the biggest reasons the Giants are struggling to score runs. It might be the biggest reason. There's no sense saving his low batting average on balls in play (BABIP) as some sort of twist for the end of the article. It's a part of the story, and it might actually be the entire story. Blaming BABIP is the sabermetric equivalent of entering a baking soda volcano into a science fair, so get your third-place ribbons ready, but sometimes it's the obvious answer because it's the correct one. Lee has had two consecutive months where he didn't get nearly as many hits as expected. And that's just comparing Lee to the average player. A player with his speed should have a resting BABIP a little higher than the league average (.291). Hitting the ball and running fast is a time-honored baseball strategy, and it shows up in the BABIPs of faster players. Lee's BABIP right now would only make sense if he ran like a Molina brother carrying another Molina brother. Everything we know about batting average and balls in play suggests this is just a hiccup. The hits will start falling, and the world will make sense again. The good news is that Lee isn't the kind of hitter who will hit like this for very long. The bad news is that he's exactly the kind of hitter who will have long stretches like this at some point. If the question is 'Is Lee as good as he was in April, or is he as bad as he's been in June?', the answer is 'yes.' He's both. Call it the Juan Pierre Paradox or the Steven Kwan Conundrum: High-contact, low-power players will forever be terrorized by the BABIPdook. They live by the ball in play, and they die by the ball in play. Advertisement In the first month of the season, Lee sprayed balls over the short Yankee Stadium porch and led the league in doubles, suggesting above-average power that was both welcome and unexpected. A player with Lee's skill set and 25-homer power is the type of player who gets MVP votes at the end of the season. It feels safe to put that dream to rest, though. He's almost certainly a known quantity now, a member of the predictably unpredictable group of high-contact, low-power players. This both is and isn't the kind of hitter you should expect from now on. By law, I'm required to mention Steven Kwan several more times in an article like this. Some counties require Luis Arráez references, too. That's because they're exactly the kind of hitters Lee should be compared to. They're the obvious comps because they're the correct ones. When you go to Lee's Baseball Savant page, you'll see a lot of blue (bad) and red (good). It's the exact same profile that you'll find on Kwan's page and Arráez's. Lots of squared-up contact, without any exciting exit velocities. Is Kwan the kind of player who will hit .374/.436/.582 for a month, or is he the kind of player who will hit .207/.313/.297 for a month? The answer is yes. He's both, with those numbers representing his slash lines from last June and August, respectively. Month-by-month splits for Arráez will make you just as seasick. These guys are either the greatest hitters in the world or the worst hitters in the league for long stretches at a time. That's the kind of player you should expect Lee to be, and you'll have no warning which version is going to show up in any given month. Some hitters with this profile will have entire seasons that go in just one direction, making it seem like they've hit some sort of sustainable high or ominous low for their career. They'll almost invariably return to their predictably unpredictable ways the next season. Lee might make an entire season out of Aprils one of these years, but he'll always be the kind of hitter with a June lurking around the corner. The reverse is also true, for better or worse. They're maddening players, these high-contact, low-power types. But it's so fun when it works. The good news is that Lee's defensive profile and baserunning make him a helpful player, even when he's not doing much at the plate. His slumps are costing his team runs, but he's finding them in other places. Compare that to Arráez, who's worth just 0.2 WAR while hitting .288/.317/.397 for the Padres this year. He can't hit like a regular schmoe and still help his team win. Lee can, which is more than a minor consolation prize. Advertisement If there's a red flag in Lee's profile, it's that he's been consistently weaker against fastballs in his career, which might help explain why he's done less damage on pitches down the middle than the average hitter. That's bad news, considering they aren't making fastballs any slower these days. If Lee has to cheat to catch up with velocity, it'll expose him to breaking balls and make him take ugly swings. That's less of a hypothetical and more of a description of his last two months at the plate. It's possible that he'll adjust as he gets more exposure to MLB fastballs, or that he'll never adjust, and his struggles with velocity will always keep him from the highest highs of players like Kwan or Arráez. If he can't do more damage on fastballs, he'll start to get a 'poor man's' label slapped on before the comparisons. He might be in the same genre of player, but we don't know if he's at their level yet. In the meantime, rest assured. The hits will start falling in for Jung Hoo Lee any day now. Aaaaaaaaany day now. It'll be fun while it lasts, but never forget that the BABIPdook is always hiding under the bed. That's the uncomfortable bargain these kinds of hitters have made.
