Xander Bogaerts Remains Absent Wednesday
1 year agoSan 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.
