Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Racks up three hits in win
Rotowire
Bogaerts went 3-for-4 with one run scored in Friday's 4-2 win over the Phillies.
Bogaerts has a trio of three-hit efforts over his last 13 games, batting .383 (18-for-47) in that span. All three hits were singles Friday, and the shortstop has just one extra-base hit, a double, across his last 10 contests. The lack of power remains a concern, but the contact-driven surge has him up to a .264/.338/.368 slash line through 92 games this season.

Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Excellent in Thursday's win
Rotowire
Bogaerts went 4-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and three total runs scored in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Dodgers.
Bogaerts has at least one extra-base hit in four of his last five games, but the homer was his first since May 14 versus the Angels. The shortstop is batting just .235 (16-for-68) in June, which is right in line with his .239 average for the season. He also hasn't provided much power with a .653 OPS while adding four homers, 28 RBI, 32 runs scored, 14 doubles and 13 stolen bases over 73 contests. At his current pace, Bogaerts is in danger of missing the 10-homer mark for the first time since 2015.

Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Racks up three hits in win
Rotowire
Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with two RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 11-1 win over the Dodgers.
Bogaerts was recently hampered by a shoulder issue, which may partially explain his recent 5-for-35 (.143) stretch at the plate over his previous 10 games. He broke out of the slump with three singles in Tuesday's win, while also notching his first RBI since May 27. The shortstop continues to hover between .230 and .250 with his batting average -- Tuesday's effort put him at .240 on the year. He's added a meager .649 OPS, three home runs, 13 stolen bases, 23 RBI and 27 runs scored across 65 contests this season.

Rotowire
Bogaerts (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against San Francisco.
Bogaerts exited Wednesday's 6-5 loss early after experiencing soreness in his left shoulder -- the same one he fractured last season. Though he'll stay on the bench for Thursday's afternoon contest, the Padres appear to be viewing Bogaerts as day-to-day heading into this weekend's series in Milwaukee. Jose Iglesias will fill in as San Diego's shortstop Thursday and could continue to start if Bogaerts misses any additional games.

Bogaerts continues to be a factor on the basepaths with four steals over his last nine games.

Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Three hits, two steals in loss
Rotowire
Bogaerts went 3-for-4 with two stolen bases in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Mariners.

He rapped out three singles and added two steals Saturday in an attempt to spark the Padres' offense, but it didn't amount to a comeback. The shortstop is up to eight steals this season without getting caught. His career high is 19 thefts in 2023, a number he's on pace to easily surpass if he stays active on the basepaths. He's added a .252/.339/.371 slash line with three home runs, 20 RBI, 20 runs scored and nine doubles across 44 contests.

Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Goes yard Wednesday
Rotowire
Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Angels.
Bogaerts hasn't shown much in the way of power overall in 2025, but he's now smashed three home runs in his last 14 games. Despite batting just .245 during this period, the veteran infielder does have 15 RBI and two stolen bases over his last 49 at-bats. As long as he maintains a spot in the heart of San Diego's batting order, Bogaerts should continue to see plenty of RBI chances going forward.
Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Giants.
The veteran infielder got hold of a hanging slider from Randy Rodriguez in the seventh inning, hooking it down the left-field line for a two-run shot. It was Bogaerts' first homer of 2025 as he looks to escape his early-season doldrums, and through 29 games he's slashing .253/.342/.364 with four steals, eight RBI and 13 runs.
