Xander Bogaerts went 1-for-3 with two walks and two runs scored against the Reds on Saturday.

He led off the game with a double and scored on a Brock Holt sacrifice fly. In the seventh he walked and scored on an Andrew Benintendi single. It's been an up-and-down season for the young shortstop, who will turn 25 years old next week. He has a .268 batting average with nine home runs, 57 RBI, 87 runs scored and 15 stolen bases for the year. His power and average have taken big steps backward compared to a year ago.

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts homered and walked three times against the Orioles on Monday.

The homer, his first since Aug. 25 and just his ninth of the season, came off Donnie Hart and tied the game in the seventh. The Red Sox badly need more offense from him right now, particularly if Mookie Betts' thumb is going to remain an issue.

Sep 18 - 11:42 PM

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts went 4-for-7 with a walk and two RBI against the Rays on Friday.

All four hits were singles, but given that his average has been steadily declining for months, he'll take them. His only previous four-hit game this season came May 30 against the White Sox.

Sep 16 - 1:23 AM

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts went 3-for-3 with a double, a walk and two runs scored against the A's on Tuesday.

Bogaerts has gotten a reprieve because of Eduardo Nunez's injury, and we'll have to see if he capitalizes. He certainly had a nice game tonight, but so did most of the rest of the lineup in an 11-run outburst. He had been in a 4-for-28 slump since Aug. 31.

Sep 12 - 11:21 PM

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts remains out of the Red Sox lineup for the third consecutive game on Sunday.

The Red Sox are giving the slumping shortstop an extended absence to rest and clear his head. Eduardo Nunez is once again starting at shortstop and batting leadoff for the Red Sox against Luis Severino and the Yankees.

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts remains out of the Red Sox lineup on Saturday.

It's the second straight game that the slumping shortstop has missed. Manager John Farrell said he expects Bogaerts to return to the lineup on Sunday. He's hitting just .201/.276/.299 since getting hit in the hand by a pitch on July 6.

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

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

Bogaerts has hit only .201/.276/.299 since being hit on right hand by a pitch back on July 6. It's clearly still bothering him, although he could be back in the lineup Saturday. Eduardo Nunez is at shortstop Friday.

Sep 1 - 4:45 PM

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts swatted his eighth home run of the season on Friday as the Red Sox were demolished by the Orioles.

His two-run blast off of Jeremy Hellickson pulled the Red Sox to within three runs at 5-2 in the second inning, but that would be as close as they would get. It was Bogaerts' lone hit in four at-bats on the night. He's slashing .280/.340/.413 with eight homers, 49 RBI and 11 stolen bases this season.

Aug 25 - 10:53 PM

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts singled twice and scored a run Tuesday in Cleveland.

Bogaerts is starting to right the ship after a brutal stretch, as he's reached base 15 times over his last eight games. Unfortunately, he's still not driving in many runs, with a mere four RBI since the All-Star break.

Aug 22 - 11:59 PM

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored Tuesday versus the Cardinals.

Remarkably, it was Bogaerts' first RBI in his last 19 games and just his third so far in the second half. He had entered the night in a 1-for-17 skid at the dish. Bogaerts' cold streak has meant a move down to the No. 6 spot in the Red Sox' lineup, although he could earn a trip back up in the order with more nights like Tuesday.

Aug 15 - 10:20 PM

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts went 3-for-4, stole a base and scored a run versus the Rays on Tuesday.

He singled and scored an insurance run in the ninth inning. He hasn't done much to help his fantasy owners lately so this game was nice to see. He has a .285 batting average with six home runs, 57 runs scored, 43 RBI and 11 stolen bases in 102 games. That's not too bad but it isn't what his owners were expecting when they drafted him back in March.

Aug 8 - 11:30 PM

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts is not in the Red Sox starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

Bogaerts has been battling an illness over the past week or so, so an extra day of rest isn't a bad idea. Eduardo Nunez will start in his place at shortstop and bat sixth against Trevor Cahill and the Royals.

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts (illness) is back in the Red Sox lineup Tuesday night against the Mariners.

Bogaerts was a late scratch Monday after coming down with an illness, but he will start at shortstop and hit sixth Tuesday versus Seattle right-hander Felix Hernandez.

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts was a late scratch from the Red Sox' lineup Monday due to illness.

Bogaerts has dealt with a sprain of a joint in his right hand recently, but he's sitting out this one because he's under the weather. Andrew Benintendi had been slated for a day off but entered the lineup in Bogaerts' place.

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts (hand) is back in the Red Sox starting lineup Thursday against the Blue Jays.

Bogaerts missed a couple of games with a small sprain of a joint in his right hand. He is starting at shortstop and hitting sixth on Thursday afternoon versus Toronto left-hander Francisco Liriano.

Nunez was unable to run the bases on Wednesday as he had been expected to. He'll now attempt that on Friday before the game in Cincinnati. He's been out of the lineup since September 10 with the PCL injury and it's looking at this point like he might only get in a few token appearances before the playoffs. Sep 20

	3	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
	4	Josh Rutledge 60-Day DL Josh Rutledge underwent surgery on his left hip and will miss the remainder of the season. Rutledge played in just 37 games for the Red Sox this year. He has been dealing with persistent soreness in the hip. Prior to the surgery, he was languishing on the 60-day disabled list due to a concussion reportedly suffered near the end of May. He should be ready for spring training in 2018. Aug 30

RF	1	Mookie Betts Sidelined Mookie Betts was scratched from the Red Sox starting lineup on Saturday due to a bruised left foot. Betts was going to try to give it a go, but his foot is still sore and the club thought it best to be on the safe side and give him an extra day. He is available off the bench to pinch hit. Sep 23

	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

	11	Robbie Ross 60-Day DL Robbie Ross underwent season-ending back surgery on Thursday morning. Ross is expected to be ready for the start of spring training in 2018. He logged just nine innings of relief this year at the major league level due to back and elbow troubles. Aug 31
	12	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
