Xander Bogaerts attempted to spark a ninth-inning rally by himself, hitting a solo home run off of Casey Janssen, but the Red Sox ultimately fell to the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

It's been a tough year for the third baseman, but the Red Sox hope the flash of power on display Tuesday is a sign of things to come. The 21-year-old owns a .241/.311/.362 slash line with eight home runs and 26 RBI. Jul 29 - 10:28 PM

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts had an RBI and scored two runs in a win over the Astros on Sunday.

Bogaerts actually went hitless in the game, but he found ways to contribute nonetheless. The 21-year-old hit an RBI sacrifice fly in the third inning, and he scored in the second and seventh innings in the Red Sox' rout. He finishes the first half with a meager .235/.311/.348 line, but he's talented enough to turn that around in the second half.

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Red Sox manager John Farrell said Wednesday that the team has not considered demoting Xander Bogaerts.

Bogaerts went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Wednesday's blowout loss to the Cubs and is batting .099 with a .287 OPS over his last 97 plate appearances. But the Red Sox feel the talented 21-year-old can figure it out at the major league level. "What we monitor is, does (a slump) become a distraction inside the lines? And right now, it’s not," Farrell said. "He is somebody we believe in and continue to have him in the lineup and provide opportunities."

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts is not in the Red Sox starting lineup for Sunday night's contest against the Yankees.

The struggling infielder will take a night off, as he's mired in a 2-for-35 slump (.057) over his last nine games. Brock Holt will draw the start at the hot corner while Mookie Betts debuts in right field.

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts has been dropped to No. 7 in the Red Sox' batting order for Tuesday's game versus the Mariners.

Bogaerts is in the midst of a 5-for-52 slide at the dish, so it's no surprise that he's been dropped from his customary No. 2 spot in the order. It's been an up-and-down season for the young shortstop.

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts is not in Saturday's lineup against the Athletics.

Bogaerts has been slumping again of late, so perhaps a day off will do him some good. Jonathan Herrera will fill in at third base.

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts hit a solo homer, drew a walk, and scored two runs Friday against the Indians.

Bogaerts busted out of an 0-for-19 slump with a solo shot off Cody Allen in the eighth inning which hit off the light tower above the Green Monster in left field. Even with his recent funk, the 21-year-old has more than held his own at the plate this season with a .278/.367/.432 batting line over 64 games.

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

It's just a day of rest for Bogaerts, who is in an 0-for-16 rut. Brock Holt will start at third base in Boston's series opener versus the Indians. Stephen Drew is also out Thursday, with Jonathan Herrera playing shortstop.

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with an RBI double in a losing effort against the Tigers on Friday.

Bogaerts got the Red Sox on the board in a hurry, lining a double off the top of the left field wall in the first inning, plating Brock Holt who had started the game with a single. The rookie infielder is now hitting an impressive .296/.387/.454 on the year.

Jun 6 - 10:02 PM

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Indians.

Bogaerts has now homered in back-to-back games, showing no issues since sliding from shortstop over to third base. His home run Tuesday came off of T.J. House in the third inning, his fifth of the season. Bogaerts is impressively slashing .304/.395/.464.

Jun 3 - 10:44 PM

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts made his first start of the season at third base on Monday and went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer against the Indians.

That homer plated both Boston runs in the game. Bogaerts certainly hasn't sulked since the Stephen Drew signing; his bat was already heating up before the move, but he's been lights out since.

Jun 2 - 9:46 PM

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with an RBI double and a run scored Friday against the Rays.

His double off David Price in the seventh inning tied the game and the Red Sox eventually won in 10 innings. The 21-year-old Bogaerts has been red-hot of late and now owns an impressive .304/.393/.435 batting line through 52 games.

May 30 - 11:56 PM

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with a double and an RBI in Thursday's win over the Braves.

Bogaerts was the key to an eighth-inning rally in which the Red Sox tied the game at three apiece, as Bogaerts singled in a run, then scored the tying run on A.J. Pierzynski's single. He then sent the Red Sox home with a walk-off infield single, as Jackie Bradley, Jr. scored on second baseman Tommy La Stella's error. Bogaerts now has back-to-back three-hit games and carries an impressive .296/.388/.425 slash line.

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Christian Vazquez
	2	David Ross
1B	1	Mike Napoli
	2	Mike Carp
	3	Ryan Lavarnway D.L. Red Sox transferred 1B Ryan Lavarnway from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. Lavarnway underwent surgery earlier this week for a broken left hamate bone. He's expected to be sidelined for 4-6 weeks and will likely be optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket once he returns to full health. Jun 5
2B	1	Dustin Pedroia
SS	1	Xander Bogaerts
3B	1	Will Middlebrooks D.L. Will Middlebrooks (finger) will be activated from the disabled list prior to Friday's game. It's been a good last 24 hours for Middlebrooks, as Stephen Drew getting shipped out freed up third base for him again and Shane Victorino's (back) injury created a spot for him on the roster. Though the 25-year-old is batting just .197/.305/.324, he has the pop to help out in deeper leagues now that he has an everyday job back. Jul 31
	2	Kelly Johnson D.L. Red Sox acquired INF/OF Kelly Johnson from the Yankees for SS Stephen Drew. Johnson was a popular fantasy sleeper in the spring, but unfortunately he kept dozing after Opening Day. He ended up hitting just .219 with a .304 OBP and six home runs in 77 games for the Yankees. Currently on the disabled list with a strained left groin, Boston won't rush him back. Slotted behind Brock Holt and Dustin Pedroia in the infield, and Shane Victorino and Allen Craig in the outfield, the tank of Johnson's 2014 fantasy value has run dry. Jul 31
LF	1	Allen Craig
	2	Brock Holt
CF	1	Jackie Bradley
RF	1	Yoenis Cespedes
	2	Shane Victorino Sidelined Shane Victorino is expected to be placed on the disabled list after aggravating his back injury. It's not clear when Victorino re-injured his back or how much time he'll miss, but obviously it's discouraging. He just returned from the disabled list less than two weeks ago and will be placed back on it prior to Friday's game. The newly acquired Yoenis Cespedes will assume the majority of the at-bats in right field. Jul 31
