Bogaerts, a four-time All-Star and a key player for the Padres, suffered a left foot fracture after fouling a ball during a game against the Mariners, which will sideline him for the rest of the 2025 season.

Having spent 10 years with the Red Sox, Bogaerts is now in his third season with the Padres, bringing veteran experience to the team.

In the wake of Xander Bogaerts' injury, the Padres have recalled Mason McCoy to fill the shortstop position, with Jose Iglesias expected to take on the primary role moving forward.

He will spend about a week in a walking boot for his injury, and while further evaluation is planned, team officials do not believe it is season-ending, hoping he can return for the MLB playoffs.

Bogaerts, 32 years old, is having a strong season with a .262 batting average, 10 home runs, 29 doubles, 48 walks, 49 RBIs, and a career-high 20 stolen bases in 131 games.

Despite Bogaerts' injury, the Padres remain competitive in the postseason race, holding the second NL wild card spot with a 75-59 record and trailing the Dodgers by two games for the NL West lead.
