Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Baltimore Orioles.
This appears to be a day of rest for Bogaerts. Deven Marrero will bat ninth and play short.
Bogaerts has been a fixture in the middle of the order for the Red Sox this season. He has taken great strides over his rookie campaign, posting a slash of .321/.352/.415 with 5 home runs and 10 stolen bases. His power has been low with his .094 isolated slugging percentage, but his above-average defense at shortstop (2.0 UZR/150) helps nullify any complaints.
