Resting due to wrist soreness Bogaerts will sit Saturday against the Yankees while managing wrist soreness, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact It's unclear exactly when the wrist issue began for Bogaerts, but it's possible it explains his recent downturn at the plate. He's slashed .195/.290/.268 in May after hitting .308/.400/.514 through the end of April. The fact that Bogaerts has played through the issue to this point seemingly gives him a good chance at avoiding the injured list, but the Padres have yet to say whether they expect him to miss a handful of games or just one. Ha-Seong Kim (knee) will start at shortstop Saturday.

Notches fifth steal Bogaerts went 1-for-5 with an RBI, a run scored and a steal in Thursday's 8-6 win over the Nationals.

Impact Boegarts is now 5-for-5 on stolen base attempts this season, putting him three shy of his total from last year. The Padres' shortstop has struggled in May after getting off to a red-hot start with San Diego. He's now slashing .179/.273/.256 with one home run in 20 games this month. Through 213 plate appearances this season, Boegarts is batting .254 with a .752 OPS, seven home runs and 19 RBI.

Slugs seventh homer Bogaerts went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Nationals.

Impact The shortstop snapped an 18-game homer drought that extended back to April 30, launching his seventh homer of the year off MacKenzie Gore in the first inning. Bogaerts batted only .176 (12-for-68) during his power outage with just three RBI, but this performance could be a sign he's about to turn things around.

Nabs fourth steal Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a double, a run and a stolen base in a loss to the Dodgers on Friday.

Impact Bogaerts helped generate one of two San Diego runs in the seventh inning, hitting a double to center field, swiping third base and subsequently coming around to score. The shortstop has had a slow start to the month, slashing .139/.244/.194 across nine contests. He began the season with four long balls over his first 12 games but has gone deep just twice in 26 contests since.

Swipes two bags Bogaerts went 0-for-3 with two walks, one RBI and two stolen bases in Friday's 5-2 win over the Dodgers.

Impact Bogaerts wasn't able to hit safely Friday, but he drew multiple walks for the sixth time this season. His pair of steals were his first thefts since April 10. The shortstop has gone 11 games without a multi-hit effort, going just 6-for-40 during that slight slump. He's down to a .283/.379/.467 slash line with six home runs, three steals, 14 RBI, 22 runs scored and four doubles through 32 contests in his first year with the Padres.

MAY 3, 2023 • SANDIEGOUNIONTRIBUNE.COM

Getting breather Tuesday Bogaerts is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Reds.

Impact This appears to be a planned day of rest for Bogaerts, who singled and scored a run in Monday's series opener versus Cincinnati and carries a .304/.392/.500 slash line through his first 130 plate appearances with the Padres. Ha-Seong Kim is playing shortstop Tuesday and batting seventh.

Smacks fifth homer Bogaerts went 1-for-5 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 16-11 win against San Francisco.

Impact Offense was abundant in MLB's first ever regular-season game in Mexico City, with the two clubs combining to hit 11 homers. Bogaerts got in on the action in the fourth inning, blasting a 455-foot solo shot that gave San Diego an 8-7 lead. It was the star shortstop's sixth long ball of the season, which puts him well above pace to surpass the 15 homers he hit in 150 games in his final campaign with the Red Sox last year.

Three hits in win Bogaerts went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in Saturday's win over the Brewers.

Impact Bogaerts continues to impress in his first season with the Padres, and he's now picked up at least one hit in all but one of his 15 games played. The shortstop has never been a major threat to steal bases, but his ability to hit for average has been on display throughout the month of April with a .361 mark through 61 at-bats with four homers in that timeframe for good measure. Few hitters have been as good as Bogaerts has to start the 2023 campaign.

Impact With the Padres clinging to a 2-1 lead in the top of the ninth inning, Bogaerts gave his team what proved to be crucial insurance runs by taking a hanging slider from Dennis Santana deep to left field. The shortstop is thriving in his new uniform, slashing .333/.426/.667 through 12 games with three doubles, four homers, 10 runs, 10 RBI, a steal and a sharp 8:5 BB:K.
