Player Outlook
Xander Bogaerts delivered six homers and a .914 OPS in his first month with the Padres, but the summer months weren't quite so productive. The veteran shortstop also had a 1.122 OPS during the final month of the season, but his .244/.308./358 slash line in between made for an underwhelming debut campaign in San Diego. In total it was a solid overall season with 19 homers, a career-high 19 steals, 83 runs and 58 RBI to go along with a .790 OPS, though that production certainly doesn't live up to the 11-year, $280 million contract he signed last offseason. His hard-hit rate also dropped over five points to 34.3 percent, while a .252 xBA and .395 xSLG indicate he was fortunate to hit .285 and slug .440. Bogaerts has regularly outperformed those expected figures throughout his career and may continue to do so, but less hard contact will make that trend more difficult to maintain. He's likely to be a productive fantasy shortstop again in 2024 and could improve his counting stats if the Padres' lineup gets back on track, but Bogaerts' longer-term outlook is looking a bit less rosy heading into his age-31 campaign.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Move back to shortstop possible

    The Padres are mulling the possibility of moving Bogaerts back to shortstop as Ha-Seong Kim's (shoulder) progress stalls, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports. Bogaerts has expressed a desire to remain at second base now that he's become comfortable there, but on Sunday he seemed to be amendable to a move back to shortstop if it meant getting Donovan Solano's bat in the lineup. The 31-year-old moved to shortstop mid-game Sunday versus the Giants after the Padres pinch-hit for shortstop Mason McCoy when they were trailing by five runs at the time. Bogaerts has now been used at shortstop four times this season but has not made a start there.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Goes deep Sunday

    Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's loss to the Giants. Bogaerts' only hit of the afternoon was a two-run shot to left in the eighth to bring the Padres within a run after they were down 6-0. That's his third home run over the last nine games after having just six in his other 86 games this season. He's showcased his lowest slugging percentage and OPS this year since his first full MLB season in 2014 and is now slashing .266/.210/.379 with 23 extra-base hits, 36 RBI, 46 runs, 10 steals and a 25:67 BB:K in 400 plate appearances.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Three hits, homer in loss

    Bogaerts went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer in Thursday's loss to the Tigers. Bogaerts jumped on a hanging slider from Casey Mize in the bottom of the second inning and launched it into the left-field stands, extending San Diego's lead to three runs. The infielder would also add two singles to give him his fifth game this season with three or more hits, but his first since July 27 against Baltimore. The long ball was Bogaerts' eighth of the campaign, and he's now batting .357 (5-for-14) in September with three RBI and three runs scored.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Goes deep, swipes bag

    Bogaerts went 1-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored, a stolen base and a walk in Friday's win over Tampa Bay. Bogaerts walked and stole second base in the fourth inning before capping off his night with a ninth-inning solo homer. He snapped a 13-game homerless drought and has gone deep just twice in 27 games this month. However, since returning from the injured list in July, Bogaerts has gone 50-for-152 (.329) through 40 games. He owns a .268/.311/.372 slash line with seven homers and nine steals through 87 games.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Rare day off Thursday

    Bogaerts is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in St. Louis, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. Bogaerts had a day off in his second game back from the injured list back on July 13, but Thursday's contest will mark the first time he's been out of the lineup since then. Donovan Solano will enter the lineup in his place at designated hitter, with Jake Cronenworth covering second base and Luis Arraez manning third base.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Swipes bag Monday

    Bogaerts went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a stolen base in a 7-4 win over St. Louis on Monday. Bogaerts' RBI came on a sacrifice fly in the fifth frame. The second baseman is batting a respectable .276 in August, but he has only one homer and a modest nine RBI through 23 games. The lack of power and run production has been a season-long issue for Bogaerts -- he has just six home runs and 29 RBI across 83 contests overall.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Swipes bag, tallies two hits

    Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored while also drawing a walk in Saturday's win over Colorado. Bogaerts walked and stole second in his second trip to the plate before then getting caught trying to steal third. The second baseman would add singles in each of his next two at-bats, with the latter one driving home Jurickson Profar to extend San Diego's lead to seven runs. It was the fifth multi-hit performance this month for Bogaerts, and he's now hit safely in five of his last six games. He's batting .268 (15-for-56) in August with six RBI, eight runs and just three extra-base hits, while Saturday's stolen base marked his seventh of the campaign.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Ends homer drought

    Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Rockies. The long ball was Bogaerts' first since July 28. Over the 14 games in between homers, he went 14-for-56 (.250) with two doubles, five RBI and seven runs scored. The infielder is up to six homers, six stolen bases, 25 RBI, 38 runs scored, 11 doubles and a triple while slashing .267/.308/.373 over 73 contests this season.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Swipes bag in Sunday's win

    Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a steal and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Rockies. Bogaerts was one of four Padres with multiple hits on the afternoon, though neither of his hits went for extra bases. He did manage to steal a bag in the seventh for his sixth stolen base of the year. Bogaerts has remained scorching hot at the plate since returning to the lineup from a fractured left shoulder July 12. In 16 games he's played since then, he's gone hitless only twice and has posted 10 multi-hit efforts. He's slashed .438/.456/.578 with a homer, seven RBI, 10 runs, two steals and a 2:7 BB:K over that span.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Keeps swinging hot bat

    Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday in a loss to Baltimore. Bogaerts temporarily brought San Diego to within a run with his two-run blast to left field in the sixth inning. The long ball extended the infielder's hitting streak to eight games, during which he's slashing a scorching .545/.571/.788 with four RBI, seven runs and a stolen base. Bogaerts is batting .489 over 45 at-bats since returning July 12 from a lengthy stay on the injured list.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Remains hot Friday

    Bogaerts went 3-for-4 with a double, a run and an RBI in Friday's 6-4 victory versus the Orioles. Bogaerts belted a big double in the sixth inning, driving in Manny Machado to give San Diego its first lead. The second baseman finished with his seventh multi-hit performance over his past nine contests, a span in which he's slashing .500/.526/.528. Bogaerts has raised his season batting average from .219 to .265 with the hot stretch, though he has only two RBI during that span and hasn't gone deep in any of his past 14 games.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Perfect at plate Wednesday

    Bogaerts went 4-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Wednesday's 12-3 win over the Nationals. Bogaerts kept his bat hot and had no trouble keeping the line moving in the blowout win. He's recorded six multi-hit efforts in seven games since he returned from a fractured left shoulder, going 14-for-29 (.483) in that span, though all of those hits have been singles. The infielder is slashing .255/.296/.338 with four home runs, 15 RBI, 26 runs scored and five stolen bases over 54 contests this season, but it appears fantasy managers will have to be patient in waiting for his power to return.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Gets two hits, swipes bag

    Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Guardians. Bogaerts has been hot at the plate since his return from a fractured shoulder, with multiple hits in four of five games since being activated. Bogaerts is now 8-for-21 since his return, but he's still looking for his first extra-base hit since May. The stolen base was his fifth of the season, and he could present value in the second half of the season if he keeps up this type of production.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Beginning on bench Saturday

    Bogaerts isn't in Saturday's starting lineup versus Atlanta, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. Bogaerts returned from a lengthy absence Friday, going 2-for-4 while starting at second base. There's no word that he aggravated the shoulder injury that landed him on the IL on May 20, so his absence from the lineup Saturday is presumably part of the plan to ease him back into action. Jake Cronenworth is playing second base in the middle game of the series while Luis Arraez is moving from DH to first base.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Two hits in return

    Bogaerts went 2-for-4 in Friday's 6-1 loss to Atlanta. Bogaerts, who was activated from the injured list earlier in the day after recovering from a fractured left shoulder, was the only Padre to put up multiple hits in the contest. It was his first game action since May 20, and he played the full game at second base, which suggests he's healthy enough to handle a starting role. Luis Arraez and Jake Cronenworth are likely to be impacted by Bogaerts' return, though there's room for all three of them in the lineup against right-handers. Bogaerts is slashing .225/.270/.319 over 204 plate appearances this season, adding four home runs, four stolen bases, 14 RBI and 23 runs scored.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Back in action Friday

    Bogaerts (shoulder) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and will start at second base Friday against Atlanta, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports. Bogaerts has been on the injured list since late May due to a fractured left shoulder, but he'll return to the Padres' lineup following a six-game rehab assignment. The 31-year-old went 6-for-18 with an RBI and four runs scored between Single-A and Triple-A and figures to start in the field most days now that he's healthy. Brett Sullivan was optioned to Triple-A El Paso in order to clear a space on the active roster.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: On track to return this weekend

    Bogaerts (shoulder) is on track to be activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. Bogaerts began a rehab assignment last week with Triple-A El Paso, going 2-for-11 with a 4:4 K:BB in four games. He will continue his rehab with another game or two this week with Single-A Lake Elsinore before facing live pitching at Petco Park. Assuming all goes well, he'll then be back for the Padres' final series of the first half this weekend against Atlanta. Bogaerts has been sidelined since late May with a fractured left shoulder.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Plays field in rehab game

    Bogaerts (shoulder) went 0-for-3 while playing second base in a rehab game with Triple-A El Paso on Friday. After serving as the designated hitter in his first rehab contest Thursday, Bogaerts transitioned to second base in his second game Friday. He's gone 1-for-6 with a walk and two strikeouts over the pair of appearances. While there seems to be ample time for Bogaerts to ramp up and return to the Padres before the All-Star break, MLB.com reports that manager Mike Shildt wouldn't commit to that Friday, saying "I wouldn't rule it out, but I wouldn't say, 'Yes.'"

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Begins rehab assignment

    Bogaerts (shoulder) went 1-for-3 with a walk in his first rehab game with Triple-A El Paso on Thursday. Bogaerts is expected to require 7-to-10 days on his rehab assignment, so he could be back just before the All-Star break if all goes well. The veteran infielder has been sidelined since late May with a fractured left shoulder.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: On verge of rehab assignment

    Bogaerts (shoulder) could begin a rehab assignment within the next day or two, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union Tribune reports. Bogaerts had a CT scan of his left shoulder Monday, the results of which indicated that he is ready to resume playing. Acee indicates that the infielder will likely head out on a rehab assignment with Triple-A El Paso in the coming days, and team officials have previously suggested that a rehab stint would last 7 to 10 days. Though manager Mike Shildt recently said that there is no timeline for Bogaerts' activation from the injured list, if all goes well moving forward, he could rejoin the Padres for their home series against Atlanta that begins July 12.
