Bogaerts was officially placed on the 10-day disabled list after being diagnosed with a small crack in the talus bone of his left ankle, Ryan Hannable of WEEI.com reports.

The evaluation Monday actually revealed a small fracture, though the team only expects their young shortstop to miss 10-to-14 days. Brock Holt seems like a good bet to take on a bigger role in his stead.

Bogaerts (ankle) will likely be placed on the disabled list Monday, Evan Drellich of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Bogaerts was removed from Sunday's contest after sliding awkwardly into a protective railing by the dugout, and it seems like Monday's evaluation didn't go as well as the Red Sox would've hoped. No official word has come out as to how severe the issue is or how long he expects to be out, but that should come forth sometime before Tuesday's matchup with the Yankees. Brock Holt could see additional playing time in his stead.

Bogaerts was sent for tests on his injured left ankle Monday, Evan Drellich of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Bogaerts suffered the ankle injury during Sunday's game against the Rays after sliding into the protective netting near the Tampa Bay dugout. While it's encouraging that the shortstop wasn't immediately sent to the disabled list, he's set to undergo treatment Monday to determine whether a stint on the shelf is ultimately necessary. If Bogaerts is ultimately forced onto the DL, Brock Holt would likely step into the starting lineup in his place (whether it be at short stop or second base). More should be known once the results from Monday's examinations are disclosed.

Anderson went 1-for-3 and stole a base in Sunday's 1-0 loss to the Tigers.

Anderson has successfully pilfered all five bases he's attempted to steal through the first 10 games. By comparison, he didn't register his fifth steal in 2017 until June 8, his 51st game. In addition to his increased larceny, Anderson has been a bit more patient at the plate to start the season. He's walked four times in 33 plate appearances (12.1 percent), compared to 13 free passes in all of 2017.

Bogaerts was diagnosed with a left ankle injury after exiting Sunday's game against the Rays, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

While this confirms that Bogaerts hurt his ankle, no information has been revealed regarding the severity of the injury, although more should be known as the team has the chance to evaluate him further. Should Bogaerts have to miss time, look for Brock Holt to start in his place, though he could man second base while Eduardo Nunez slides over to short.

Bogaerts was removed in the top of seventh inning Sunday against the Rays after sustaining an apparent left ankle injury when he slid into a protective railing near the Tampa Bay dugout, Sean McAdam of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

Bogaerts was able to exit the field under his own power but was visibly limping to the Red Sox clubhouse. Brock Holt came off the bench to replace Bogaerts at shortstop. Expect the Red Sox to provide an update on Bogaerts' condition after the game.

Wendle went 2-for-3 with a double and a run Saturday in the Rays' 10-3 loss to the Red Sox.

The versatile infielder has multi-hit efforts in two of his last three starts, performances that each include a double. Wendle is expected to see a relatively solid allotment of playing time as the left-handed side of a second base platoon with Daniel Robertson, with his ability to also turn in strong glove work another factor in his favor.

Lindor went 2-for-4 with a double and stolen base Saturday against the Royals.

Lindor stole his third base of the season Saturday and has been successful in three of his four stolen-base attempts this season. It took until May 30 for him to steal his third base last year, so it appears he has made being more aggressive on the basepaths a priority to start the season. That would be a boost to his fantasy value and provide him a nice floor if his power production were to fall off from last season's pace.

Diaz (back) will start at shortstop and bat seventh for Saturday's game against the Rangers, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Diaz was expected to return to the lineup Friday, but manager John Gibbons opted to give him an additional day of rest following Tuesday's back spasms. Yangervis Solarte will shift to third base and move Josh Donaldson back to DH for Saturday's game.

Bogaerts went 2-for-3 with a two runs, six RBI -- four coming on a grands slam -- and a walk in Saturday's 10-3 win over the Rays.

The 25-year-old shortstop is on a tear to start the season, slashing .371/.405/.743 over his first eight games. The homer was his second of the season -- last year, his second home run didn't come until May 30. Bogaerts was already a worthy fantasy shortstop, with double-digit home runs and steals the last two seasons. He typically provides a solid batting average and has a quality lineup to boost his counting stats. If he's adding power this year, he could make the jump into the position's top tier.
