Well, you can pretty much shelve the earlier reports by
Evan Drellich of
NBCSportsBoston—
now the Red Sox say
Xander Bogaerts has
a "small crack"in the talus bone of his left ankle. The injury is described as "non-displaced"—
meaning he does not need surgery. Stay tuned—there may be a third report in a few more minutes. Reportedly, he will return in 10-14 days—and if you believe
that (well, you know). This is the kind of confusion you get when an organization like the Red Sox takes a "bunker", Kremlin-like mentality on important issues.
