The San Diego Padres activated Xander Bogaerts on Friday just before the start of their series with the Atlanta Braves. The four-time All-Star had been on the injured list since May 22 after suffering a fractured shoulder, ironically, against the Braves.

Bogaerts had been struggling mightily when he hit the injured list, as he continues to try and live up to the 11-year, $280 million contract he signed before the 2023 season. Though 47 games before injuring his shoulder, Bogaerts was slashing .219/.265/.316 with four home runs, 14 RBIs and an OPS of .581. Those numbers are far below his career averages of .289/.353/.452, and an OPS of .804.
