Meanwhile, the Brewers' Brandon Woodruff prepares for a comeback after shoulder surgery, while Angels' Anthony Rendon faces hip surgery, prompting the Angels to consider a trade for Nolan Arenado. Bregman's addition positions the Red Sox favorably for a playoff run amid ongoing roster changes in the league.
