Red Sox, Yankees Report Multiple Key Injury Updates

The Boston Red Sox have faced significant injury challenges this season, notably with Alex Bregman suffering a strained right quad that has sidelined him since May 23, with no clear return timeline yet. Manager Alex Cora provided a positive update, stating Bregman is in good spirits and undergoing treatment. Additionally, starting pitcher Kutter Crawford is expected to begin a rehab assignment soon after dealing with a right patellar tendinopathy, while Tanner Houck and outfielder Masataka Yoshida continue their recoveries. The New York Yankees also face pitching concerns, with relief pitcher Luke Weaver exiting a game due to hamstring pain and Jake Cousins starting a rehab assignment after forearm and pectoral injuries sidelined him for the entire 2025 season so far. The Yankees, despite recent setbacks and injuries to key pitchers including Gerrit Cole, maintain a strong 36-22 record and lead the AL East by 5.5 games, with reinforcements like Cousins' return expected to bolster their bullpen. Both teams are navigating injury-plagued seasons, with cautious optimism for the return of key players to improve their respective rosters.
