Red Sox SS Xander Bogaerts Exits vs. Cubs With Thigh Injury

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts exited Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs with a left thigh laceration and did not return, according to MassLive's Chris Cotillo.

Bogaerts suffered the injury in the seventh inning after being spiked on a stolen base attempt from Wilson Contreras. His status moving forward is unclear.

Bogaerts suffered from back discomfort earlier this season following a collision with outfielder Alex Verdugo during a 7-3 win over the Seattle Mariners on May 20. However, he did not miss any time, returning to the lineup one day later.
