Alex Cora gives injury update on Xander Bogaerts amid Red Sox hot streak

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts was removed from their win late with a lower back injury. Alex Cora gave an update postgame. Bogaerts name has been floated in trade rumors of late, and for good reason, as he’s likely to opt out of his contract at the end of the season and the Red Sox don’t appear close to extending him just yet.

Red Sox's Xander Bogaerts: Day-to-day with lower back injury

Manager Alex Cora said after Friday's win over the Mariners that Bogaerts is day-to-day with lower back discomfort, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports. Bogaerts was involved in a collision in the top of the eighth inning Friday and was replaced by a pinch hitter in the bottom half of the frame. Prior to his departure, he went 0-for-2 with a run, a walk and a strikeout. If the 29-year-old is forced to miss additional time, Christian Arroyo would likely see increased at-bats.

Boston Red Sox: An offer Xander Bogaerts can’t refuse

As the Boston Red Sox and Xander Bogaerts continue to work out a deal, a speculative contract could keep him in Boston: $32 million per year for 5 years. When Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts hit a home run in the eighth inning, he’d already heard the chants: Re-Sign Xander.

Dansby Swanson should be insulted by Xander Bogaerts trade talk

Another Atlanta Braves franchise mainstay could be replaced soon. They’ve done this before. Why wouldn’t they do it again?. We’re talking about Freddie Freeman, of course, who was allowed to depart Atlanta for Los Angeles and the Dodgers in free agency this past winter. The Braves found a replacement in Matt Olson, who is quite good, but replacing an icon and franchise face like Freeman had to feel like a slap in the face to fans and many in the organization.

Xander Bogaerts homers after Red Sox fans call on team to re-sign him: ‘I heard it. If I struck out, it wouldn’t have helped my cause’

After a 98-minute rain delay, the majority of the 29,706 fans on hand for Monday night’s game between the Astros and Red Sox at Fenway Park had already left the premises. The ones who stuck around, however, made their voices heard. Especially in the eighth inning as Xander Bogaerts stepped up to the plate looking to follow J.D. Martinez’s go-ahead RBI double with a productive hit of his own.
