He's slashing .268 (15-for-56) in August with six RBI, eight runs and just three extra-base hits while Saturday's stolen base marked his seventh of the campaign.

Perfect at plate Wednesday Bogaerts went 4-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Wednesday's 12-3 win over the Nationals.
Impact Bogaerts kept his bat hot and had no trouble keeping the line moving in the blowout win. He's recorded six multi-hit efforts in seven games since he returned from a fractured left shoulder, going 14-for-29 (.483) in that span, though all of those hits have been singles.

Gets two hits, swipes bag Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Guardians.
Impact Bogaerts has been hot at the plate since his return from a fractured shoulder, with multiple hits in four of five games since being activated. Bogaerts is now 8-for-21 since his return, but he's still looking for his first extra-base hit since May. The stolen base was his fifth of the season, and he could present value in the second half of the season if he keeps this type of production.

Beginning on bench Saturday Bogaerts isn't in Saturday's starting lineup versus Atlanta, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact Bogaerts returned from a lengthy absence Friday, going 2-for-4 while starting at second base. There's no word that he aggravated the shoulder injury that landed him on the IL on May 20, so his absence from the lineup Saturday is presumably part of the plan to ease him back into action. Jake Cronenworth is playing second base in the middle game of the series while Luis Arraez is moving from DH to first base.

Two hits in return Bogaerts went 2-for-4 in Friday's 6-1 loss to Atlanta.
Impact Bogaerts, who was activated from the injured list earlier in the day due to a fractured left shoulder, was the only Padre to put up multiple hits in the contest. It was his first game action since May 20, and he played the full game at second base, which suggests he's healthy enough to handle a starting role. Luis Arraez and Jake Cronenworth are likely to be impacted by Bogaerts' return, though there's room for all three of them in the lineup against right-handers, at the expense of Donovan Solano. Bogaerts is slashing .225/.270/.319 over 204 plate appearances this season, adding four home runs, four stolen bases, 14 RBI and 23 runs scored.
