Padres expecting to be without Xander Bogaerts for at least two months following shoulder fracture
The Padres will be without Xander Bogaerts for at least two months, as tests revealed a fracture in his left shoulder and he was placed on the injured list Wednesday. “I’ll be back,” Bogaerts said. “I’m a quick healer.” The Padres called up veteran David Peralta, who they signed last week. Peralta will primarily serve as a left-handed bat off the bench and possibly give Jurickson Profar or Fernando Tatis Jr. days off.
Peralta began the year on a minor league deal with the Cubs but never got out of Triple-A Iowa, where he was hitting .217/.341/.348 with two homers in 20 games. He got off to a late start, too, after undergoing offseason flexor tendon surgery on his left elbow. Peralta hit .259/.294/.381 with seven homers and 55 RBIs in 133 games with the Dodgers last year. He is a veteran of 10 years in the majors and is a .289/.343/.474 hitter in his career against righties, compared to .241/.303/.
