Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman was removed from Friday afternoon's game at Fenway Park, appearing to take an awkward turn around first base on a hit in the third inning against the Baltimore Orioles. Bregman immediately knew he needed to come out of the game, but was able to walk off the field and into the dugout tunnel on his own. Bregman signed a three-year, $120 million deal with the Red Sox in February after spending nine seasons with the Houston Astros.
