Padres manager Mike Shildt said Xander Bogaerts will play shortstop this season.
Fantasy Impact
It was Ha-Seong Kim who played at shortstop last season, but he wound up signing with the Rays earlier this offseason. Bogaerts will return to his old position.
Xander Bogaerts is absent from the lineup for the San Diego Padres against the Arizona Diamondbacks Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Bogaerts will receive the afternoon off for regular rest, with Nick Ahmed batting sixth and filling in at shortstop for manager Mike Shildt against the Diamondbacks Sunday.
Xander Bogaerts went 2-for-4 in the Padres' 5-0 win over the Diamondbacks.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the multi-hit game, Bogaerts didn't contribute to the scoreline with RBIs or runs, which somewhat limits the fantasy impact of his performance. His season batting average now sits at .264, which is decent but not spectacular for fantasy managers. With a wOBA of .299 and a BABIP of .297, his output has been fairly consistent, though not particularly eye-catching. Fantasy managers should view Bogaerts as a stable, if not stellar, middle infield option as the season progresses.
Xander Bogaerts went 1-for-4 in the Padres' 6-2 victory over the White Sox, delivering a key home run and driving in two runs.
Fantasy Impact
This performance, featuring his 11th homer of the season, provides a slight boost to his .260 batting average and increases his RBI total to 41. While Bogaerts's power numbers are respectable, his overall production has been somewhat inconsistent this season, as reflected in his batting metrics. Fantasy managers should view him as a solid option at shortstop, though his limited walk rate and average wOBA (.298) suggest he's more of a middle-tier fantasy asset rather than a top-tier performer. His ability to contribute in multiple categories, including home runs and stolen bases, keeps him relevant in most fantasy formats.
Xander Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in the Padres' 3-1 victory over the Astros.
Fantasy Impact
While the stolen base added a bit of value, Bogaerts's overall impact was muted by his lack of production in other categories, notably failing to contribute in runs or RBIs and striking out twice. His season batting average sits at .260, and while he's reached double digits in home runs and stolen bases, his modest RBI total and wOBA suggest he's not quite delivering the fantasy punch managers might have hoped for from a middle infielder. His consistent playing time and ability to contribute across several categories keep him relevant, but fantasy managers might want to temper expectations given his current trajectory.
