4 years agoBoston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts will be absent from the starting lineup for Wednesday’s matchup with New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom. Bogaerts had been dealing with multiple injuries to open the year before an awkward collision Monday shook him up further. Tzu-Wei Lin will take over shortstop duties for the Red Sox and bat ninth, although he possesses very little DFS intrigue due to his matchup. Bogaerts has begun the year 3-for-18 at the plate with one home run and five RBI. His next chance to return to the lineup comes Thursday when the Red Sox are slated to face southpaw Steven Matz.--Jesse Borek
