San Diego Padres All-Star infielder Xander Bogaerts has a much more significant injury than the team hoped.
, and shortly after, Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune provided an update on the injury — and it's much worse than the Padres hoped.
Xander Bogaerts has a fracture in his left shoulder. No indication of labrum tear or need for surgery. Bone has to heal. He intends to play again this season, perhaps by late summer.This is a huge blow to Bogaerts and the Padres. Bogaerts signed an 11-year, $280 million deal with the Padres ahead of the 2023 season.
Then, just one year into the deal, he was moved off of shortstop in favor of Ha-Seong Kim, and began playing second base for the first time in his career. Through 47 games, Bogaerts was slashing just .219/.265/.316 with a .581 OPS. All would be career-lows.
