Bogaerts returns to action for Red Sox

Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts returned to the starting lineup after missing 15 games with a broken talus bone in his left ankle.

Bogaerts was activated from the 10-day disabled list Friday. He started at shortstop and batted fifth against Tampa Bay.

Infielder/outfielder Brock Holt was put on the disabled list because of a strained left hamstring.

Bogarts, a 2016 all-star, was hurt April 8 while sliding into the Rays dugout to grab an errant ball.

Teheran leaves game: Atlanta Braves right-hander Julio Teheran left Friday night’s start against the Phillies after three innings because of tightness in his right upper trapezius.

Teheran allowed a three-run homer in the first inning but didn’t allow a hit in the next two innings before coming out. He was replaced by Max Fried.

Teheran is 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA in six starts.

Kang to begin comeback: Jung Ho Kang will begin his attempt to return to the major leagues Monday when the infielder reports to the Pittsburgh Pirates’ extended spring training camp in Bradenton, Fl.

“He has a lot of work ahead of him,” Pirates general manager Neal Huntington said Friday.

Pittsburgh said Thursday that Kang received a work visa to come to the United States and resume his career. He had been working out in the Dominican Republic, where he had a short stint of winter ball during the off-season.

The 31-year-old Kang last played for the Pirates in 2016. He was arrested in his native South Korea on DUI charges for a third time in December 2016 and received an eight-month suspended prison sentence that led to the visa issues.
