US EditionPadres Place Shortstop Xander Bogaerts on 10-Day Injured List with Foot Fracture
Xander Bogaerts suffered a non-displaced fracture fouling a ball off his left foot and is expected to recover in 6-8 weeks, with Jose Iglesias likely to start shortstop meanwhile.
- On Friday, the San Diego Padres placed All-Star shortstop Xander Bogaerts on the 10-day injured list with a non-displaced fracture in his left foot after fouling a ball Wednesday in Seattle.
- During Wednesday's game, Bogaerts fouled a ball off his left foot in Seattle, stayed in the game, and later underwent imaging revealing a fracture.
- Padres medical staff say recovery from Bogaerts' foot fracture is six to eight weeks, with a boot for a week before re-evaluation, and surgery may be avoided.
- San Diego recalled infielder Mason McCoy from Triple-A El Paso to fill the roster spot, while Jose Iglesias is expected to play most shortstop innings and bat seventh Friday.
- Bogaerts' absence removes a key offensive and baserunning piece from San Diego's late season stretch, as he was batting.262 with 49 RBIs and 20 stolen bases.
