The Red Sox have placed shortstop Xander Bogaerts on the 10-day deisabled list, after he fractured his ankle in Sunday’s 8-7 win over Tampa Bay.
The team said Bogaerts underwent an X-ray Sunday and an MRI today at Massachusetts General Hospital, revealing a small crack in the talus bone in his left ankle. The injury is non-displaced and will not require surgery. Bogaerts, who was placed on the 10-day disabled list today, is expected to miss approximately 10-14 days.
Bogaerts injured his ankle sliding into the Rays dugout going after a ball.
Tzu-Wei Lin will be called up from Triple-A Pawtucket on Tuesday to fill his spot.
Also, left-handed pitcher Drew Pomeranz (left forearm flexor strain), who began his injury rehabilitation assignment with Pawtucket yesterday, will have his assignment transferred to Double-A Portland, where he will make a start on Friday against Binghamton at 6 p.m.
