"A left foot fracture has kept Bogaerts out of action since August 27, and it wasn't clear if he would be able to play again before the postseason, even if the injury wasn't expected to keep Bogaerts out of any October action. Bogaerts has hit .262/.330/.387 with 10 home runs over 534 plate appearances, for a decent but unspectacular 103 wRC+."
"The Padres are expected to activate Xander Bogaerts from the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's game with the Brewers, Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune writes. The shortstop might've already been back this weekend except a planned on-field workout on Friday was canceled due to rain, delaying Bogaerts' return until the start of the six-game homestand that will conclude the Friars' regular season."
Xander Bogaerts is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list before Monday's game after a planned Friday workout was canceled by rain. A left foot fracture sidelined Bogaerts since August 27, though the injury was not expected to preclude postseason availability. He has hit .262/.330/.387 with 10 home runs in 534 plate appearances (103 wRC+) and shown good plate discipline. He has added 20 steals in 22 attempts and his defense rates very good by Outs Above Average (+7). Jake Cronenworth and Jose Iglesias covered shortstop recently, with Cronenworth slated to return to second base, and San Diego appears likely to finish as the NL's second wild card after a 25-22 run since the trade deadline.
