BOSTON — Alex Bregman is not in the Red Sox lineup Sunday against the Marlins. Abraham Toro will play third base. Boston will try for a three-game sweep against Miami at Fenway Park. First pitch is scheduled for 1:35 p.m.

Bowden linking the Tigers to Bregman as a free agent destination isn't surprising, as when trade rumors were flying around in June regarding Bregman, Detroit was one of the top teams that could land the superstar third baseman.
