Alex Bregman is back. The Red Sox third baseman was officially activated from the injured list prior to Friday’s game and will bat second in his return against the Tampa Bay Rays. Hunter Dobbins was also activated and will get the start against Tampa Bay’s Drew Rasmussen.

The Red Sox third baseman went 1 for 4 with a double off the Green Monster in the seventh inning in Boston’s 5-4 comeback win over the Rays.

Speaking on WEEI, Craig Breslow explained what the Red Sox might prioritize before the July 31 trade deadline.

Marcelo Mayer had a big night, surviving a roster crunch and providing a key hit for the Red Sox in a comeback win.

Six relievers followed injured Red Sox starter Hunter Dobbins, who came off the IL before the game only to leave in the second inning. Bregman was 1 for 4 with a double in his first game back from a quad injury.
