Xander Bogaerts

Xander Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Padres' 5-4 loss to the Rockies.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the solo blast, Bogaerts' season has been underwhelming, batting just .212 with only four homers and 13 RBI through 42 games. Fantasy managers should view Bogaerts as a low-end option at shortstop, primarily relying on him in deeper leagues or as a fill-in during hot streaks or favorable matchups.

Xander Bogaerts went 2-for-4 in the Padres' 4-0 victory over the Dodgers, including a home run, one run scored, and one RBI.

Fantasy Impact

This performance could be a sign of Bogaerts finding his rhythm at the plate, especially considering his underwhelming .211 batting average and modest power numbers so far this season. His home run, only his third of the year, along with a total of 35 hits and 12 RBI in 41 games, suggests potential for improvement as the season progresses. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Bogaerts, as increased confidence and adjustments at the plate could lead to more consistent production, though his current stats might still make him a risky play in shallower leagues.
