Red Sox notebook: Ankle crack lands Xander Bogaerts on disabled list
The Red Sox will be without their hottest position player for at least two weeks.
Xander Bogaerts was placed on the 10-day disabled list yesterday because of a small crack in the talus bone in his left ankle.
Bogaerts is hitting a team-high .368 with an MLB-leading seven doubles. He was injured Sunday when he took a bad relay throw from J.D. Martinez in left field and made a blind flip to third base, where there was nobody covering. The ball started rolling toward the visitors dugout, and Bogaerts slid to save it. He hurt himself when he landed on the dugout steps.
He’s expected to miss 10-14 days, the team said.
