Padres' Xander Bogaerts Placed on IL, Out for Regular Season with Foot Fracture
San Diego Padres shortstop Xander Bogaerts has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a non-displaced fracture in his left foot, an injury sustained when he fouled a ball off himself during Wednesday's game against Seattle. While he completed the game, subsequent imaging revealed the fracture, and he is not expected to return before the end of the regular season, though a postseason return remains possible. To fill his roster spot, San Diego recalled infielder Mason McCoy, and Jose Iglesias is a likely candidate to take over at shortstop. Bogaerts was batting .262 with 49 RBI and a career-high 20 stolen bases, having played in 131 of the Padres' 134 games this season.
