Bogaerts (hamstring) will bat third and play shortstop Saturday against the Yankees, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Bogaerts left Friday's season opener with a hamstring injury but said after the game that he hoped to return without missing any time. That will indeed happen, and the fact that he'll be a full participant in the field rather than merely a designated hitter seemingly indicates good things about his health. He went 3-for-5 with an RBI and a pair of runs scored Friday and will try to keep that momentum going Saturday.
