Xander Bogaerts Cleared To Play On Saturday
3 years agoBoston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts (back) is in the starting lineup for the team's contest against the Seattle Mariners on Saturday. He'll be hitting out of his usual cleanup spot. Bogaerts suffered a lower back injury during Friday's game after he collided with outfielder Alex Verdugo. He was removed from the game and declared day-to-day. Luckily, he won't be missing any games following the incident. Bogaerts has been his usual, steady self at the plate so far this year. He's compiled four home runs, 16 RBI and 22 runs while hitting .326/.388/.465.
