Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and two stolen bases in Tuesday night's 11-4 win over Atlanta. He has three steals in the past two games.

Bogaerts has the legs to steal bags -- he was successful 10 times in 12 stolen-base attempts in 2015 -- but hitting one spot ahead of David Ortiz in the batting order, Bogaerts the baserunner rarely gets the opportunity to steal a bag. It doesn't serve a purpose to steal -- if you get thrown out, there's one less run for Ortiz to knock in; if you're successful, the opponent is motivated to take the bat out of Ortiz's hands via the intentional walk. What was different about these last two games is that Boston was in a National League city and Oritz, a designated hitter by trade, was held out of the lineup. We don't expect to see a big uptick in stolen bases for Bogaerts, who stole just three all of last season when hitting out of the three-hole.

Adames is slashing .258/.352/.452 with three homers and a stolen base across 71 plate appearances for Double-A Montgomery.

Adames has always been one of the youngest players at every level of his development, and while his stat lines haven't often stood out, he still remains one of the Rays' most intriguing prospects. He's off to a nice start to 2016 thanks mostly to his disciplined eye at the plate, but is still likely at least two years away from settling into a full-time role in the majors.

Bogaerts returned to the lineup Sunday after missing one game with a wrist injury. He went 1-for-5 with a walk in a 7-5 extra-inning win over Houston.

Bogaerts is hitting .271 through 17 games played, a noticeable drop off from his breakout 2015 season, but he's always been a slow starter in the colder months. He hit .274 in April 2015 before hitting .326 between May and October. If he's still at .270 or thereabouts in June, it might be time to panic.

Bogaerts (wrist) will return to the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Astros, Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe reports.

Bogaerts skipped Saturday's game after being hit in the wrist Friday -- although he was available off the bench as a defensive replacement -- but it appears the night off did him well. The 23-year-old shortstop will return to the lineup Sunday and hit in his usual spot (third) in the order. Bogaerts can be deployed normally in both season-long and daily lineups, as there's nothing to suggest he's limited in any capacity.

Bogaerts (wrist) will not be available to hit Saturday but he could enter the game as an emergency defensive replacement, Evan Drellich of the Boston Herald reports.

Bogaerts was hit on the wrist by a pitch Friday and will not be in the lineup for Saturday's tilt in Houston. Given that he's only going to be available Saturday as an emergency option, his status going into the series finale Sunday is murky at best. That said, Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe is reporting that Bogaerts does not believe a stint on the disabled list is in the realm of possibility.

Bogaerts (wrist) is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Astros, Tim Britton of the Providence Journal reports.

Bogaerts left Friday's game after being hit on the wrist by a Luke Gregerson offering, and although X-rays on the area came back negative, he will get the day off Saturday. Brock Holt will slide over to cover shortstop Saturday with Bogaerts sitting out, but he could return to the order for Sunday's series finale. However, Bogaerts did note that he doesn't have much mobility in the wrist, and he'll avoid swinging a bat Saturday, so a return Sunday is certainly no lock.

X-rays on Bogaerts' wrist came back negative after Friday's game, the Boston Globe's Pete Abraham reports.

He was 2-for-4 with a double before leaving Friday's game against Houston after getting hit on the right wrist by a 89 mph fastball from Luke Gregerson. Bogaerts could move his wrist freely after the game, and the injured wrist was not wrapped when he spoke to reporters, but he admitted that it would probably be pretty sore when he woke up Saturday. It would not be surprising for the Red Sox to give him a game or two off, in which case Brock Holt or Josh Rutledge would have to step in at shortstop.

Bogaerts (wrist) will get X-rays following Friday's game, but he did not seem too distraught about the injury, the Boston Globe's Pete Abraham reports.

He left Friday's game against the Astros in the ninth inning after getting hit on the wrist by a Luke Gregerson fastball. Abraham's assessment that Bogaerts was not distraught is encouraging, but the team has still not commented on the exact nature of the injury, and are unlikely to until the X-rays come back, so stay tuned.

Bogaerts left Friday's game after being hit on the right wrist by a fastball from Luke Gregerson in the ninth inning, WEEI's Rob Bradford reports.

This could be a damaging blow for the Red Sox and for Bogaerts' fantasy owners. He remained on the ground after getting hit while the team's trainer and manager checked on him, and he was then escorted off the field. Stay tuned for word of the official diagnosis. Brock Holt and Josh Rutledge are the only other players capable of playing shortstop on the 25-man roster.

Bogaerts (quad) is in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays, Kevin Thomas of the Portland Press Herald reports.

Bogaerts was removed from Wednesday's game due to tightness in his left quad, but Red Sox manager John Farrell said the move was merely precautionary. Supporting that notion, Bogaerts is back in the lineup for Thursday's matchup with Rays pitcher Jake Odorizzi, occupying his usual spot as the starting shortstop and No. 3 hitter.
