XANDER BOGAERTS NEWS

Gets cortisone shot in wrist Bogaerts is wearing a splint on his left wrist after being given a cortisone shot to combat soreness, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact The wrist issue is evidently something that usually bothers Bogaerts during spring training and isn't considered to be a big deal. The plan is for the shortstop to rest for two days before return to play the final two Cactus League games ahead of Opening Day.

Back in camp Bogaerts returned to Padres camp Wednesday, Sammy Levitt of 97.3 The Fan reports.

Impact Bogaerts played for the recently eliminated Netherlands in the World Baseball Classic, posting a .267/.353/.533 slash line with a home run and an RBI over four games in the tournament. He'll now likely return to playing in Cactus League contests as he continues preparing for the regular season. Bogaerts will begin what figures to be a lengthy tenure in San Diego after signing an 11-year, $280 million contract with the organization in the offseason.
