The Padres is expected to be activated Xander Bogaerts Of the 10-day injured list prior to Monday’s match with the Brewers, Kevin Acee van de San Diego Union Tribune writes. The ShortStop may have already been back this weekend, except that a planned training on the field on Friday was canceled due to rain, so that the return of Bogaerts was postponed to the start of the six-game homesty that will close the regular season of the Brothers.
Bogaerts has kept a left -wing fracture out of effect since 27 August and it was not clear whether he could play again for the late season, even if the injury was not expected to keep Bogaerts from an October action. Bogaerts has hit .262/.330/.387 with 10 home runs over 534 plate performances, for a decent but unpectacular 103 WRC+. He has shown A good plate discipline And his work on the plate supplemented with 20 steals (in 22 attempts) and a very good defense in the sight of the above -average metric (+7). Jake Cronenworth And Jose Iglesias Most ShortStop obligation has handed over in the past four weeks and with Bogaerts back, Cronenworth should return to his usual second base position.
Return Monday gives Bogaerts six games to perform for a trip after the season that has been worked almost officially. San Diego probably seems to end as the second Wild Card team of the NL, unless the Padres can overcome the three-game edge of the Dodgers in the NL West Race, or if the Padres somehow browse their five-game edge over the Reds (which holds the third and last wild card slot).
Although the Padres certainly wished they could have overtaken Los Angeles for the Lead division, a record of 25-22 has been solved at least his fourth play-off berth since the Handelsdeadline San Diego. President of Baseball Operations AJ Prailer was his typical active self in the deadline and hurled five transactions in July to add a variety of scheduling upgrades.
The many players who were actually acquired were just the tip of the iceberg, such as Jon Heyman of the New York Post Writes that “the Padres were on every top player” even somewhat available in the deadline. Most of those trade objectives were cited on the pages of MLBTR, but Heyman adds that the Padres were also interested in Harrison Baderwho, instead of the twins, went to another NL power in the Phillies.
San Diego’s interest in Bader was logical, because the Padres had a clear need in the outfield. Instead of Bader, the Padres finally arrived Ramon Laureano And Ryan O’Hearn From the Orioles for a trading package with six prospects, with regard to both the left field and the first base fell in one. The bat from O’Hearn has cooled since the deal, while Laureano has played really well, so there are probably no regrets in the front office of the brothers about missing Bader, which has exploded since he arrived in Philadelphia.
The largest deadline deals of the Padres Mason Miller And JP Sears Athletics acquired for four small Leaguers, including Elite Prospect Leo de Vries Like the headliner. De Vries was by far the most prominent prospect of the deadline, and it took the recording of a controllable young arm as a miller to convince the Padres to move the young short stop.
This does not mean that other teams have not asked. San Diego was known for making a push to pry Mackenzie Gore Away from the Nationals, although Washington Gore would not move for slightly less than a hunger. Heyman writes that the Nats’ questions from the Padres was a package with five players with De Vries, so it is not so surprising that the Padres played elsewhere.
Steven Kwan Was another outfielder on the wish list of the Padres, and a De Vries-For-Kwan trade was driven between the Padres and Guardians, although Heyman says that neither teams wanted a straight swap. Kwan (such as GORE) is arbitration-controlled by the 2027 season, so although two-plus year control is still much an established player, it might not have been enough of a long-term addition to convince the prospective to move De Vries.
From the perspective of Cleveland, the Guardians often strive for at least one MLB-ready piece when trading their veteran assets. De Vries has only made his double A debut after his move to the athletics farm system, and although he places strong figures, he is not 19 to next month and is not expected to reach the Majors until 2027. Although the guards were only 54-54 on July 31, he saved that he paid dividends, as helped in the September rise of September, but even the already a playoff spot, but even the al-title, but even the al-title.
