Bogaerts continues to play through an injured right hand, an injury he sustained back on July 6 at Tampa Bay, Tim Britton of the Providence Journal reports.
Bogaerts sat for one day after the Rays' Jacob Faria plunked him on the right hand. That day has served as fulcrum for Bogaerts' season. He was hitting .308 with an .818 OPS before being hit by pitch; since then, the shortstop has batted just .206 with a .589 OPS. Most recently, he's experienced soreness in his right wrist, which may be a result of changes he made in his swing due to the hand. Bogaerts acknowledged the pain in his right hand has led to changes in mechanics, something that is expected to be with him for the rest of the season.
