Xander Bogaerts News
San Diego Padres shortstop Xander Bogaerts (wrist) remains out of the lineup Wednesday against the Seattle Mariners. Bogaerts is still hoping to avoid a trip to the injured list, but he was also hoping to return to action on Tuesday night, making Wednesday's absence a little more concerning. It's been an underwhelming season by his lofty standards, as the 30-year-old is hitting just .252 with seven home runs, six stolen bases, and a .725 OPS across 243 plate appearances for the season. Bogaerts hasn't played since Saturday against the Cubs, so any potential IL stint would be retroactive to Sunday, June 4. For now, Ha-Seong Kim will continue to man shortstop in Bogaerts' absence.
San Diego Padres shortstop Xander Bogaerts (wrist) has missed the last two games as he deals with left wrist soreness. However, the club believes he'll avoid a stint on the injured list, and the 30-year-old is aiming to return to the lineup for Tuesday's matchup with the Seattle Mariners, according to MLB.com. Over 57 games this season, Bogaerts is slashing .252/.337/.388 with seven homers, 31 runs, 21 RBI, and six stolen bases. Those numbers are down across the board compared to his career norms, so hopefully, the Aruban native can rebound a bit as the season progresses. Bogaerts remains a must-start in every fantasy format, but he might not be the star he was while in Boston.
San Diego Padres shortstop Xander Bogaerts (wrist) is once again out of the starting lineup for Monday's contest with Kyle Hendricks and the visiting Chicago Cubs. Bogaerts also sat out Sunday's contest due to the wrist ailment, and he'll get another day of rest to heal on Monday. It's been a solid, yet unspectacular season for the 30-year-old given his lofty standards. The former Red Sox star is hitting .252 with seven homers, six stolen bases, and a .725 OPS in 57 appearances, all of which fall well below his career norms. Additionally, his .314 xwOBA is actually inferior to his .323 wOBA so far, meaning positive regression may not be on the horizon. Ha-Seong Kim will move over to shortstop and hit eighth Monday night.

Newly signed San Diego Padres shortstop Xander Bogaerts has been a premier hitter during his time in the big leagues. He's hit .292 over 10 seasons and was better in 2022, hitting .307. Bogaerts hasn't had a strikeout rate above 18.7% since 2014 and put the ball in play more than 35% of his peers this year. However, high BABIPs have played a big part in his batting averages. The 30-year-old's .336 career BABIP is awfully inflated and fueled by the offense-happy venue of Fenway Park, hiding his career .265 xBA. Bogaerts' power doesn't help if his average falls, as he's smashed just 20 HRs per 162 games over his 10 seasons. His barrel rate has never been greater than 9.8%, and he owns just a career 6.2% mark, along with a 6.5% rate from '22. Bogaerts can hit the ball in the air enough but is only a power threat when pulling fly balls significantly more than his career mark of 24.6%. A move to Petco Park, which posted a 95-home run factor for right-handers over the past three seasons, will only make it more of a challenge for the long-time Red Sox. And seeing that Bogaerts has only swiped 33 bags from 2018-2022, the only categories fantasy managers can really rely on him for is RBI and runs, considering he'll be in the middle of a strong Padres lineup. His ADP of 88 is an overpay, and there are plenty of quality shortstops going much later, like Willy Adames (101 ADP) and Carlos Correa (125 ADP).
