Lost in the excitement of Sunday’s thrilling comeback victory was an early exit by Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts.
Bogaerts suffered an ankle injury sliding into the dugout while chasing a ball that got away from him. Nothing appeared out of the ordinary with the slide itself, although Bogaerts could have jammed his ankle on the landing once his feet were out the camera’s view. He noticeably limped around the field before being helped into the clubhouse.
The severity of the injury remains unclear. Bogaerts plans to undergo treatment on Monday to determine if a stint on the disabled list is necessary.
