Xander Bogaerts (hand) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Xander Bogaerts has been diagnosed with a muscle contusion and small sprain of a joint in his right hand.

Bogaerts was scratched from the Red Sox starting lineup on Tuesday night against the Blue Jays, though he did appear as a pinch-runner in the 15-inning affair. The shortstop is considered day-to-day.

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts, who didn't start because of a sore hand, appeared as a pinch-runner in Tuesday's 15-inning game versus Toronto.

Bogaerts entered the game in the 11th, though he didn't stay in for defense afterwards. It's unclear whether he'll start Wednesday.

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts was scratched from the Red Sox lineup Tuesday due to a sore right hand.

Bogaerts took a pitch off the hand July 6 at Tampa Bay and has been dealing with discomfort ever since. Boston is hopeful it's just a day-to-day situation, but an MRI is scheduled. Deven Marrero will start at shortstop and bat eighth on Tuesday night against the Blue Jays.

Xander Bogaerts has been moved down to the No. 6 spot in the Red Sox' order Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

It's the first time since May 5 that he's hit lower than third. Bogaerts is hitting just .154/.244/.231 so far in July.

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts went 0-for-4 on Monday and is just 6-for-39 with two runs scored in July.

Bogaerts wasn't great in June, either, and his average has declined from .339 on May 30 to .296 now. He could probably use more time off than he's gotten, something that was clearly the case last year, too.

Jul 17 - 10:40 PM

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts is not in the Red Sox' lineup for the second game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Yankees.

It looks to be nothing more than a breather for Bogaerts. Tzu-Wei Lin is starting in his place at shortstop and batting ninth against Masahiro Tanaka and the Yankees on Sunday night.

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts went 1-for-3 and drew a walk in a loss to the Rays on Saturday.

His single was one of only three base knocks his teammates could generate against Rays' pitching on the afternoon. Bogaerts was returning to action after getting hit on the hand in the first inning of Thursday's game. He has a .308 batting average with six home runs, 50 runs scored and 41 RBI in 81 games. He has stolen nine bases in 10 attempts.

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts (hand) returned to the Red Sox' starting lineup on Saturday.

Bogaerts left Thursday's game after being hit by a pitch and was held out on Friday for precautionary reasons. He's starting at shortstop and batting third against Rays' right-hander Alex Cobb.

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

The Red Sox are hopeful that Xander Bogaerts (hand) will be able to return on Saturday or Sunday.

Bogaerts was held out of Friday's lineup after being hit in the right hand by a pitch on Thursday. X-rays came back negative and there's "a lot of improvement," but he felt worse than expected on Friday. "It's still tough to hold a bat and throw a ball," said Bogaerts. "I knew coming in today it would be tough to play. Hopefully tomorrow it's much better compared to today." Consider him day-to-day.

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts (hand) is not in the Red Sox' lineup Friday.

X-rays on Bogaerts' right hand came back clean after he left Thursday's game following a hit by pitch, but he's surely still a little sore. Tzu-Wei Lin is at shortstop and Deven Marrero is at third base.

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

X-rays on Xander Bogaerts' bruised hand came back negative.

Red Sox fans (and fantasy owners) can all let out a collective sigh of relief. Bogaerts was in considerable pain after taking a pitch off his right hand on Thursday night but appears to have escaped with only a bruise. The Red Sox are calling him day-to-day. Xander's .308 average ranks 12th in the American League.

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts left Thursday's game against the Rays with a bruised right hand.

Jacob Faria plunked Bogaerts with one out in the first inning. He stayed in to run the bases but came out after struggling with his warmup tosses between innings. Bogaerts is waiting further evaluation so he's not out of the woods yet. Tzu-Wei Lin replaced him at shortstop with Deven Marrero taking over at third base.

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts smoked a two-run jack in Wednesday's loss to the Rangers.

He went deep off starter Andrew Cashner with a runner aboard in the sixth inning. It was his only hit of the ballgame and one of only three his team could put together. Bogaerts has a .308 batting average with six longballs, 41 RBI and 50 runs scored. He has stolen nine bases and is well on his way to eclipsing his career high of 13 bags.

	3	Josh Rutledge 7-Day DL Josh Rutledge (concussion) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Pawtucket on Thursday. He's batting fifth and DHing at home against Norfolk. Rutledge has been out a month with a concussion but appears to be on the mend. When healthy, he'll occupy a third base platoon with Brock Holt. Of course, that's assuming Boston doesn't add a third baseman at the trade deadline. Jul 20
	4	Marco Hernandez 60-Day DL Red Sox transferred INF Marco Hernandez from the 10-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Blaine Boyer. Hernandez is out for the season following shoulder surgery. May 28

	5	Steven Wright 60-Day DL Red Sox transferred RHP Steven Wright (knee) from the 10-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The Red Sox needed to clear a spot for tonight's starting pitcher, Hector Velazquez, on the 40-man roster. Wright underwent season-ending knee surgery earlier this month. He got beat up this year, turning in a miserable 8.25 ERA over five starts. The knuckleballer hasn't looked the same since injuring himself in a pinch-running appearance last summer. May 18
	6	Eduardo Rodriguez
	7	Doug Fister
	8	Roenis Elias 60-Day DL Roenis Elias (oblique) has been throwing simulated games. He's expected to require a few more throwing sessions before being cleared for game action. Elias has been out all season due to an intercostal strain. Jun 28
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Craig Kimbrel
	2	Tyler Thornburg 60-Day DL Tyler Thornburg will undergo season-ending surgery Friday for thoracic outlet syndrome. A very tough blow for the Red Sox, who traded Travis Shaw and three legitimate prospects to the Brewers over the winter in exchange for Thornburg. The 28-year-old setup man came down with shoulder problems early in spring training and has yet to appear in a game for Boston. He registered a 2.15 ERA and 90/25 K/BB ratio over 67 innings last season with Milwaukee. Jun 15
	3	Joe Kelly 10-Day DL Joe Kelly (hamstring) will travel with the Red Sox to Anaheim this weekend and hopes to be cleared to throw a bullpen session. Kelly is a week removed from being placed on the disabled list with a strained left hamstring. He won't be ready to return when eligible, but making it back before the end of the month seems possible. Jul 21
	4	Matt Barnes
	5	Chris Sale
	6	Heath Hembree
	7	Fernando Abad
	8	Brandon Workman
	9	Robbie Ross 10-Day DL Red Sox placed LHP Robbie Ross on the 10-day disabled list with left elbow inflammation. Ross was optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket back on May 19, but he had yet to make an appearance there because his elbow has been barking. That option has been reversed and Ross is now on the major league disabled list. There is no timetable for his return to action. Jun 1
	10	Blaine Boyer 10-Day DL Blaine Boyer (elbow) will resume throwing off a mound in the next day or two. Boyer will join the Red Sox on their West Coast road trip. It sounds like he could make it back before the end of the month if all goes well. Jul 21
	11	Ben Taylor
	12	Kyle Martin
