Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts clubbed his 20th home run on Saturday as the Red Sox dispatched of the Yankees 6-5.

Bogaerts came through with a run-scoring double to get the Red Sox on the board in the third inning. His two-run blast in the fifth inning pulled the Red Sox to within a run at 5-4. He also added a single on the afternoon, finishing the day 3-for-4 with three runs scored and three RBI. He's now hitting .299/.356/.451 with 20 long balls and 88 RBI on the year.

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts ripped a solo homer in Tuesday's loss to the Orioles.

Bogaerts' blast to center field cut the Orioles' lead to two in the fifth inning, but that's as close as the Red Sox got. It was his lone hit on the night in five trips to the dish. Bogaerts has already exceeded his previous career high in homers by seven and needs just one more dinger for his first 20-homer campaign.

Sep 14 - 12:00 AM

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts singled and launched a two-run homer in Monday's victory over the Rays.

Bogaerts' tater off of Danny Farquhar in the ninth inning padded the Red Sox' lead. He also drew a walk on the night, reaching base in three of his five trips to the dish. Bogaerts was in a bit of a funk for a while but now has tallied multiple hits in three of his last four contests.

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts smacked a two-run homer and added an RBI double in Friday's game.

He finished 2-for-5 on the night with three RBI and two runs scored. The longball was his 13th of the season. His .331 batting average ranks him fourth in the major leagues while his 78 runs scored rank sixth.

Jul 30 - 1:04 AM

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts finished 4-for-6 with a run scored in a loss to the Twins on Saturday.

The Red Sox pounded out 15 hits on the night, led by Bogaerts' four, but the Twins won the slugfest. That wasn't by fault of the 23-year-old Bogaerts, who is 11-for-22 in his last five games. The ultra-talented young shortstop is hitting .329/.385/.474 with 61 RBI and 72 runs scored, sixth-most in the American League, on the season.

Jul 24 - 12:47 AM

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts went 3-for-4 with two RBI and three runs scored in a lopsided win over the Twins on Thursday.

The first four hitters in the Sox lineup finished 14-for-19 in the one-sided affair, and Bogaerts was right in the middle of the action with a two-run double in the third inning. The 23-year-old is hitting .324/.380/.470 with 61 RBI and 71 runs scored this year, and he's got 11 homers and 11 steals to boot.

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts launched a two-run homer in Friday’s win over the Yankees.

His sixth-inning blast ended up being the difference in the game. Ryan Hanigan and Travis Shaw also went deep in the victory. Bogaerts is now up to 11 home runs on the year, so he’s already one shy of his career-high from 2014. Of course, he needed 144 games to do that. He played in his 86th game of the season on Friday.

Jul 15 - 10:21 PM

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts hit his 10th home run of the season, a two-run shot, in Saturday's win over the Rays.

Bogaerts finished 1-for-3 on the day with the two-run bomb off Rays starter Matt Moore. The 23-year-old All-Star is having a heck of a year to this point, batting .331 -- third-best average among qualified AL hitters -- with a .871 OPS, 55 RBI, 65 runs scored and 11 steals. The future is now.

Jul 9 - 10:15 PM

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts is back in Wednesday's lineup against the Rays.

Bogaerts was given the day off Tuesday, but he's right back in there for Wednesday's game. The 23-year-old shortstop is batting .343/.395/.494 with nine homers, 50 RBI, and 10 steals over 75 games this season.

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Red Sox manager John Farrell said during a radio appearance on WEEI that Xander Bogaerts will get the day off off Tuesday versus the Rays.

Farrell has talked about giving Bogaerts a day off, so he's going to get it out of the way. Marco Hernandez is expected to start at shortstop.

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts is in the Red Sox's starting lineup Monday against the Rays.

Manager John Farrell hinted that Bogaerts would get the night off after making his third error in four games Sunday against Texas. The Red Sox even called up infielder Mike Miller from Triple-A Pawtucket to spell Bogaerts at shortstop but here he is, starting for the 59th game in a row. Bogaerts will bat in his usual third spot against Rays left-hander Blake Snell.

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Red Sox manager John Farrell says Xander Bogaerts is tired and "needs a day."

Bogaerts' bat hasn't slowed down yet—his batting average is second in the American League behind Jose Altuve—but his defense has deteriorated over the past week with three errors in his last four games. Xander hasn't sat since April 23 and is due for a breather. Sitting Wednesday against the Rays is the most likely scenario with the Red Sox off on Thursday. That would give Xander a couple days to catch his breath.

1B	1	Hanley Ramirez
2B	1	Dustin Pedroia
	2	Marco Hernandez
	3	Josh Rutledge 60-Day DL Josh Rutledge will undergo surgery on his left knee to repair patellar tendinitis. Rutledge has been bothered by the knee issue for nearly two months and rest and rehab wasn't working. His rehab is expected to last 3-4 months, so he should be ready for spring training, barring any complications. Aug 12

3B	1	Travis Shaw

	4	Pablo Sandoval 60-Day DL Red Sox manager John Farrell said Pablo Sandoval (shoulder) could return this season "if the need arises." Sandoval is well ahead of schedule in his recovery from shoulder surgery. He's made two appearances in the fall instructional league at DH and took batting practice with the Red Sox on Saturday. It's still a long shot but there's an outside chance Panda could make the postseason roster, particularly if something happens to Aaron Hill, Travis Shaw or Brock Holt over the next week. Sep 24
LF	1	Andrew Benintendi
	2	Brock Holt
	3	Chris Young
	4	Blake Swihart 60-Day DL Blake Swihart underwent season-ending surgery on his left ankle on Monday. Swihart originally injured the ankle back in June and just recently decided to shut it down and have surgery. The expectation is that he'll be ready for spring training. Swihart began this season as the starting catcher before being pushed into the outfield. It's unclear what his role will be in 2017. Aug 16

Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	David Price
	2	Rick Porcello
	3	Drew Pomeranz Sidelined Drew Pomeranz (forearm) will throw a bullpen session on Thursday. Pomeranz has already been scratched from his scheduled Thursday start against the Yankees due to left forearm soreness and concerns about his overall workload. He has thrown a career-high 169 1/3 innings this season. "We talked about maybe trying to get ready for a spot in the bullpen [for the postseason]," Pomeranz said Wednesday. "I don't know how everything was playing out, but that's what we decided on." Sep 28
	4	Steven Wright Sidelined Steven Wright (shoulder) threw a light bullpen session on Tuesday in Fort Myers, Florida. He's scheduled for a more intense mound workout on Friday at Fenway Park. Wright can be ruled out for the remainder of the 2016 regular season, but he could be an option for the Red Sox in some capacity during the playoffs. Sep 27
	5	Eduardo Rodriguez
	6	Henry Owens
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name

	13	Carson Smith 60-Day DL Red Sox transferred RHP Carson Smith from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. Smith underwent Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery at the end of May. He'll be out 13-15 months. Jun 7
	14	Brandon Workman 60-Day DL Brandon Workman (elbow) has moved his minor league rehab assignment to Double-A Portland. The right-hander posted a 3.38 ERA and 8/2 K/BB ratio in eight innings with the Low-A Lowell Spinners. He has been out all season following Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery but is trying to make himself an option for the Red Sox bullpen down the stretch. An early-September debut seems possible.
