Alex Bregman is approaching the final weeks of his initial season with the Boston Red Sox, aiming to secure a postseason spot. Despite missing nearly two months due to a quadriceps injury, the All-Star third baseman has delivered strong offensive numbers, batting .305/.387/.546 during the 2025 campaign.
Having been an October regular with the Houston Astros, Bregman is eager to maintain that streak after helping Boston tie the Seattle Mariners for the American League’s top wild-card position with just six weeks remaining.
Bregman’s Thoughts During the Team’s Recent Radio Telethon Appearance
Prior to Monday’s game against the Baltimore Orioles, Bregman and Red Sox relief pitcher Garrett Whitlock participated in the WEEI/NESN Jimmy Fund Radio-Telethon, where Bregman shared his perspective on the season’s progress and the team’s playoff chances.
It definitely feels like it’s gone quickly,
Bregman said.
We are in a playoff race. I feel like we’re a really great team, a playoff team. We got to finish strong.
—Alex Bregman, Third Baseman
Recent Game Performances and Upcoming Challenges
After dropping two out of three games each to the Astros and San Diego Padres, Boston rebounded by winning two of three against the Miami Marlins. Bregman emphasized the importance of continuing this positive momentum as the Red Sox prepare for series against the Orioles and New York Yankees over the coming week.
The 31-year-old highlighted the necessity of flawless execution in every element of the game, which will be vital with 38 games left in the regular season.
Execution is crucial down the stretch,
he explained.
We got to execute our game plan in all three phases of the game. Baserunning, hitting, defense, pitching. That’s four phases, whoops. But we got to execute in every phase of the game. And if we do that, I feel like we have the opportunity to be very successful. Look forward to grinding it out there.

Looking Ahead: The Road to October Baseball
The Red Sox start a two-game series against the Orioles on Monday at 7:10 p.m. ET, hoping to build on their recent success and strengthen their hold on the wild-card spot. As Bregman and his teammates focus on steady execution in all facets, the team’s playoff aspirations remain alive and within reach.
Bregman’s experience and consistent performance could prove pivotal as Boston enters this critical phase, aiming to secure another postseason appearance and extend the star third baseman’s run of October baseball from his time with Houston.
