Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Nabs steal No. 10
Rotowire
Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Phillies.
After swiping his 10th bag of the year in the matinee, Bogaerts went 1-for-4 in the nightcap, giving the shortstop five hits in three contests coming out of the All-Star break. It's been a bumpy first season in San Diego for the former Boston star, in part due to lingering wrist issues, but Bogaerts has still reached double-digit steals for the first time since 2017 while also mashing 10 homers in 87 games.
Bogaerts received a cortisone shot in his left wrist as planned after Sunday's game against the Mets, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
This is a planned injection for Bogaerts, who doesn't anticipate needing another such cortisone shot the rest of the year. "Looking forward to a nice second half, and I expect that out of myself," he said Sunday. It doesn't sound like this will affect Bogaerts' availability immediately after the break, but it's something to remember in case his left wrist gives him any trouble later this summer.
