He’ll Always Have Paris

Xander Bogaerts broke his shoulder:

“I’m not a big timetable guy,” Padres manager Mike Shildt said. “Obviously he’ll be on the sidelines for a period of time. It’s really impossible to say how long. We’re still gathering information.”

Bogaerts injured his shoulder while diving for a ground ball in the first game of a doubleheader Monday against the Atlanta Braves. Bogaerts was escorted off the field after being evaluated by training staff.

Initial imaging of Bogaerts’ shoulder came back negative, but the fracture was revealed when further tests were done on Wednesday.

There is no structural damage to the shoulder, but the bone needs time to heal. Bogaerts hopes to be back by late summer.

Bogaerts was off to a terrible start to the season, so bad that the Padres might benefit from his absence.
