Overview
- San Diego activated Xander Bogaerts from the 10-day injured list and started him at shortstop Tuesday against the Brewers after a four-week absence.
- Bogaerts fractured his left foot on Aug. 27 in Seattle and is using a shoe insert and a batting foot guard as trainers monitor him day to day with five regular-season games left.
- Manager Mike Shildt said Bogaerts will resume the full-time shortstop role, moving Jake Cronenworth back to second base and Luis Arraez to first base or designated hitter.
- The Padres optioned RHP Bruce Zimmerman in a corresponding move to clear a roster spot for Bogaerts.
- San Diego clinched a playoff berth Monday on a walk-off, several regulars rested Tuesday, and Fernando Tatis Jr. remained out with an illness.
