Rest-of-Season Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Bogaerts has been consistently productive without an impressive Statcast page. Last season, he again parlayed outstanding plate coverage into a solid campaign, posting a 134 wRC+, the second highest of his career. Bogaerts' homers usually emanate from turning on mistakes, but he was unable to do it as often in 2022, perhaps due to lingering shoulder and other assorted woes. The drop in power was mitigated by a .362 BABIP, above his career .336 mark. However, it was driven by a .356 BABIP on grounders, over 50 points above his career norm. Defense has always been an issue, but last season Bogaerts vowed to improve, and he did, finishing third for the AL Gold Glove at shortstop. Bogaerts opted out of his contract and landed a massive 11-year deal with San Diego. His skills will play anywhere, but there is no denying this is a downgrade in park factors for the right-handed hitter. Nagging injuries have been an issue, but Bogaerts is still one of the best fantasy shortstops. Read Past Outlooks

Returns to lineup Sunday
Bogaerts is hitting fourth and playing shortstop against the Yankees on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Bogaerts missed Saturday's game while dealing with wrist soreness, but the 30-year-old shortstop will return to hit cleanup against the Yankees for Sunday's series finale. Ha-Seong Kim moves back to third base with Bogaerts back in the lineup.

Stat Review
How does Xander Bogaerts compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Bogaerts had one of his customary productive seasons, which we almost take for granted given his level of production over the years. The fact he was able to do what he did while playing through a sore wrist through most of the second half speaks to his natural abilities. Bogaerts hit .321/.385/.545 before the break but just .255/.341/.413 after the break while dealing with the injury and finally going on the injured list in early September. He continues to enjoy the comforts of Fenway Park as his home OPS was nearly 150 points higher than his road OPS in 2021. Bogaerts is an .870 OPS hitter at Fenway versus a .755 OPS hitter on the road over the course of his career. He is one of just three players (along with Freddie Freeman and Michael Brantley) to hit at least .285 in each of the past four major-league seasons, and a healthy body and retooled Boston lineup could return him to 200 or more runs-plus-RBI.
