To call the Boston Red Sox's season a disappointment so far would be a major understatement. At 30-35, Boston fell 10 1/2 games out of first place with a 9-6 loss to the New York Yankees on Friday night.

NEW YORK — Alex Bregman (right quad strain) began his running progression Thursday, manager Alex Cora said. “If it’s up to him, he’ll be playing tonight,” Cora joked Friday before Boston’s series opener against the Yankees at Yankee Stadium.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora has stayed relatively cool and level-headed, but he let his frustration flow after the team's 17th one-run loss of the season.
