Isaac Paredes was one of the key returns in the Kyle Tucker trade, and while he is on the injured list with a significant hamstring strain, he solidified himself as the future at third base this summer. Over 94 games, the 26-year-old hit .259 with an .829 OPS, a 128 OPS+, 19 home runs, 50 RBIs, and a 49:67 BB:K ratio.

The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox have been headed in opposite directions over the last month or so. The Yankees have squandered their lead in the AL East and are hanging on by a thread to a wild card spot. Meanwhile, the Red Sox have played themselves into a wild card spot and sit in second place in the division.

Houston Astros fans cheered for Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman as the All-Star infielder returned to his former stomping ground, Minute Maid Park, on Monday.

Alex Bregman is celebrating 2025 MLB Players Weekend with a bat inspired by Boston Red Sox mascot Wally the Green Monster.

But while Correa was making his triumphant return home after the recent blockbuster trade that brought him back to the Houston Astros from the Minnesota Twins, Bregman was in the ballpark for the first time as a visitor after signing with the Boston Red Sox this offseason. Monday is the opener of a three-game series between the teams.
