Xander Bogaerts Exits Game After Slide Into Dugout
7 years agoBoston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts (ankle) limped off the field with a trainer Sunday after sliding after a ball into the dugout. He might have injured his ankle on the slide, according to Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic. An injury to Bogaerts would be a big loss to the offense, as he has been on a torrid pace. He is hitting .369 with seven doubles, two homers and nine RBI to start the season. Manager Alex Cora stated he didn't know when the injury occurred but that Bogaerts would be evaluated on Monday. When looking for the positive, it was a good sign that after the initial play, Bogaerts started walking back toward his normal position.
