Xander Bogaerts Out for Two Months with Shoulder Fracture

The San Diego Padres have placed Xander Bogaerts on the injured list due to a left shoulder fracture, sidelining him for at least two months. In response, the team has recalled veteran David Peralta, who will serve as a left-handed bat off the bench and provide outfield coverage. Bogaerts, who had recently improved his performance, is optimistic about a quicker return. The Padres are adjusting their lineup to accommodate the changes, with Tyler Wade starting at shortstop and other positional shifts.
