Overview

• Bogaerts is expected to be activated from the 10-day IL and return Monday after nearly a month out with a fractured left foot.
• Manager Mike Shildt said the shortstop has recovered well following back-to-back aggressive workout days.
• A planned on-field session Friday was canceled due to rain, delaying his return to the start of the homestand.
• His availability resets the infield, with Jake Cronenworth projected to shift back to second base as Jose Iglesias steps off shortstop.
• He will have six regular-season games to ramp up for what is widely viewed as a likely Wild Card berth after hitting .262 with 10 home runs before the injury.
