Following Tuesday’s loss to the Rockies, Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that Kiké Hernández is no longer the starting shortstop.
Boston’s skipper did say that Hernández may see some late-game action there if someone pinch-hits for Pablo Reyes.
The decision came one day after Hernández made his MLB-leading 14th error on Monday.
If the 31-year-old maintained his current pace, he’d finish with 33 errors on the year, the most by a player in a single season since Marcus Semien had 35 in 2015.
Prior to Tuesday, when Hernández didn’t play at all, he had played shortstop in 24 straight games, starting there in 22 of them.
