Xander Bogaerts (back) returns Tuesday for Red Sox

Boston Red Sox infielder Xander Bogaerts (back) is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday versus left-hander Jeffrey Springs and the Tampa Bay Rays.

What It Means:

Bogaerts missed the past two contests with a back ailment, but he will be back at shortstop and batting third on Tuesday. Enrique Hernandez will move out to center field in place of an absent Abraham Almonte.

Bogaerts has a $3,000 salary on Tuesday and numberFire’s models project him for 12.3 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Red Sox’s implied total (3.42) is No. 23 in the majors today. Springs has registered a 3.30 SIERA, 26.3% strikeout rate, and 13.6% swinging-strike rate this season.
