• Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Racks up three hits in win

  Rotowire Jun 11, 2025

  Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with two RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 11-1 win over the Dodgers. Bogaerts was recently hampered by a shoulder issue, which may partially explain his recent 5-for-35 (.143) stretch at the plate over his previous 10 games. He broke out of the slump with three singles in Tuesday's win, while also notching his first RBI since May 27. The shortstop continues to hover between .230 and .250 with his batting average -- Tuesday's effort put him at .240 on the year. He's added a meager .649 OPS, three home runs, 13 stolen bases, 23 RBI and 27 runs scored across 65 contests this season.

• Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Back in lineup

  Rotowire Jun 6, 2025

  Bogaerts (shoulder) is starting at shortstop and batting sixth against the Brewers on Friday. Bogaerts was out of the lineup against the Giants on Thursday while nursing a sore left shoulder. However, the issue doesn't appear to be a serious one as he's back in the lineup for Friday's series opener. The veteran shortstop has slashed .233/.311/.311 with seven steals, two home runs and 13 RBI across 119 plate appearances since the beginning of May.

• Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Sitting down Thursday

  Rotowire Jun 5, 2025

  Bogaerts (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against San Francisco. Bogaerts exited Wednesday's 6-5 loss early after experiencing soreness in his left shoulder -- the same one he fractured last season. Though he'll stay on the bench for Thursday's afternoon contest, the Padres appear to be viewing Bogaerts as day-to-day heading into this weekend's series in Milwaukee. Jose Iglesias will fill in as San Diego's shortstop Thursday and could continue to start if Bogaerts misses any additional games.

• Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Logs steal Monday

  Rotowire May 27, 2025

  Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Marlins. Bogaerts continues to be a factor on the basepaths with four steals over his last nine games. His hitting has cooled off in that stretch -- he's gone a modest 6-for-30 (.200) with three walks and six strikeouts, and he hasn't logged an RBI or an extra-base hit since he homered May 14 versus the Angels. The slump has the shortstop down to a .232/.320/.333 slash line with three home runs, 10 steals, 20 RBI and 21 runs scored over 52 contests this season.

• Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Three hits, two steals in loss

  Rotowire May 18, 2025

  Bogaerts went 3-for-4 with two stolen bases in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Mariners. Bogaerts had slumped a bit over his previous five games, going 2-for-15 with four walks in that span. He rapped out three singles and added two steals Saturday in an attempt to spark the Padres' offense, but it didn't amount to a comeback. The shortstop is up to eight steals this season without getting caught. His career high is 19 thefts in 2023, a number he's on pace to easily surpass if he stays active on the basepaths. He's added a .252/.339/.371 slash line with three home runs, 20 RBI, 20 runs scored and nine doubles across 44 contests.

• Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Goes yard Wednesday

  Rotowire May 15, 2025

  Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Angels. Bogaerts hasn't shown much in the way of power overall in 2025, but he's now smashed three home runs in his last 14 games. Despite batting just .245 during this period, the veteran infielder does have 15 RBI and two stolen bases over his last 49 at-bats. As long as he maintains a spot in the heart of San Diego's batting order, Bogaerts should continue to see plenty of RBI chances going forward.

• Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Expected to play shortstop in 2025

  Rotowire Feb 2, 2025

  Bogaerts will be the Padres' starting shortstop during the upcoming season, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports. San Diego shifted Bogaerts to second base ahead of the 2024 campaign, and he ended up making 85 starts there. However, the veteran infielder did start 16 times at shortstop, with all of those appearances coming at the end of the season after Ha-Seong Kim landed on the injured list due to a shoulder injury. Kim is now in Tampa Bay, which made Bogaerts' return to shortstop an expected scenario. For fantasy purposes, it's important to note that Bogaerts made 20 appearances at the position in total during the 2024 regular season, so he should have dual-position eligibility from the beginning of the season in most formats.
