BOSTON — Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Monday that he expects starting pitcher Kutter Crawford to begin a rehab assignment later this week. Crawford was placed on the injured list March 27 with right patellar tendinopathy.

Bregman roped a single to left field in the fifth inning, rounded first base, then immediately called for the trainer and exited the game with a slight limp. Bregman told reporters on Saturday that he felt worse than expected. He subsequently underwent an MRI before being placed on the shelf.
