In November, the Red Sox signed closer Aroldis Chapman, now an eight-time All-Star. Garrett Crochet, who arrived via trade in December, is making his second appearance. And Alex Bregman, who Cora previously coached in 2017 for the Houston Astros, is headed to his third Midsummer Classic.

BOSTON — Red Sox outfielder Masataka Yoshida is likely to be reinstated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday. The 31-year-old outfielder, who is returning from an offseason right shoulder labral repair, is working out here at Fenway Park on Monday.

It sounds like there's a chance Alex Bregman could return to the Red Sox lineup ahead of the MLB All-Star break.
