Xander Bogaerts - who leads the Red Sox in batting average (.368), slugging percentage (.711), OPS (1.111), hits (14), doubles (7), and total bases (27) - has been put on the 10-day disabled list. The Red Sox expected him to be out of action for approximately two weeks.
Bogaerts suffered a small crack in the talus bone in his left ankle on Sunday when, in the seventh inning, he chased after the ball into foul territory and slid into the third base dugout.
The Red Sox have recalled Tzu-Wei Lin from Pawtucket.
Jessica Flynn, a sports medicine physician at Lahey Hospital and Medical Center in Burlington, MA, believes Bogaerts will likely be out for longer than 10-14 days.
