Alex Bregman is making his long-awaited return to the Red Sox lineup against the Tampa Bay Rays Friday night. Boston’s star infielder missed the last 43 games with a right quad strain and has worked tirelessly to get back on the diamond before MLB’s All-Star break.

Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet will not pitch in the All-Star Game, Major League Baseball announced Friday afternoon.

Cedanne Rafaela hit a two-run walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to help the Sox overcome an early deficit.
