Bogaerts went 1-for-3 with a double and a run in Boston's win over the Yankees on Friday.
Bogaerts is still fighting at the plate and is hitting just .214 over 42 games since Aug. 1. His seasonal batting average finally dropped below .300 this week, the first time it's been there since April 30. He's had prolonged droughts in the past and has always snapped out of them, so we're not overly concerned at this point. Red Sox manager John Farrell might give him a day of rest at some point, but with Boston fighting for a playoff spot, Bogaerts' slumping bat is still more dangerous than what's available to Farrell on Boston's bench.
