Red Sox prospect Xander Bogaerts is expected to make his first start Tuesday at San Francisco, according to MLB.com. The highly touted prospect was promoted to the majors Monday.
"He'll rotate through the left side of the infield," Red Sox manager John Farrell said Monday. "As [general manager] Ben [Cherington] and I and others talk about our position players coming down the stretch here, we're trying to build in some scheduled down days, and Xander will provide that at shortstop with Stephen [Drew]. The reason we brought Xander was a right-handed bat to complement him. That's not to say a platoon situation by any means."
