Bogaerts will likely return to the lineup Sunday against the Yankees, Tim Britton of The Providence Journal reports.
It sounds like the Red Sox are taking an opportunity to give their slumping shortstop a couple maintenance days, as he was recently dealing with lingering soreness from getting hit on the hand by a pitch in July. Eduardo Nunez is starting at shortstop and leading off. If Bogaerts continues to struggle at the plate after returning, he could lose out on a start or two each week over the final month, as the Red Sox now have pretty solid infield depth.
