Xander Bogaerts

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.

Xander Bogaerts went 1-for-5 with a home run and an RBI in the Padres' 8-0 victory over the Giants.

Fantasy Impact

His solo home run contributed to a dominant team performance, though his overall game output was modest. Despite a batting average of .262 this season, Bogaerts has now reached double digits in home runs, which could signal some power potential for fantasy managers looking for shortstop contributions. However, his limited production in other categories like walks and stolen bases, coupled with a relatively high strikeout rate, might temper expectations. Fantasy managers should view Bogaerts as a potential depth option, particularly in formats that reward power, but should keep an eye on his ability to improve his on-base skills to maximize his value.
