Padres' Bogaerts leaves after diving for ball
Written by I Dig Sports
ATLANTA -- San Diego Padres second baseman Xander Bogaerts apparently injured his left shoulder and was removed from Monday's game against the Atlanta Braves.
Bogaerts landed on the shoulder while diving for a bases-loaded grounder hit by Ronald Acuña Jr. in the third inning. Bogaerts stopped the grounder but was unable to make a throw on Acuña's run-scoring infield hit.
Bogaerts immediately signaled to the bench for assistance and a trainer examined the second baseman before escorting him off the field.
Tyler Wade replaced Bogaerts at second base. The run-scoring single by Acuña gave Atlanta a 5-0 lead over Dylan Cease and the Padres.
Bogaerts entered Monday's first game of a doubleheader hitting .220 with four homers and 14 RBI.
