Overview

  • Bogaerts has been cleared to begin baseball work and has started his rehab, per Jeff Sanders of the San Diego Union-Tribune.
  • He has been out since late August with a left foot fracture and was placed on the injured list on August 29.
  • On Thursday he took rolled grounders at shortstop and planned to hit in the cage, saying he feels really good, according to reporter AJ Cassavell.
  • Any return depends on an aggressive rehab with no setbacks, leaving open the possibility of late-season action or availability for the Wild Card Series.
  • Before the injury he rebounded to hit .304/.360/.473 over his last 248 plate appearances, and his return would bolster a lineup currently leaning on light-hitting fill-in Jose Iglesias.
