Bogaerts Injured, Padres Adjust | MLB News

Xander Bogaerts went down in the 7th inning after fouling a ball off his left foot, drawing a walk before being replaced by Sung-Mun Song at shortstop — all while the Padres were cruising 7-0. Though no official injury update has been given, the move likely prioritizes caution over risk. Bogaerts, hitting just .225 with a .645 OPS this season, has been on a hot streak lately, going 7-for-20 in his last six games and was 2-for-3 before the incident. He’s also been playing solid defense. If sidelined, Song is the most likely shortstop replacement, with Jake Cronenworth possibly shifting to short, opening up second base. Keep an eye on Bogaerts’ status and how the Padres adjust their lineup. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
