San Diego Padres shortstop Xander Bogaerts was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday due to a non-displaced fracture in his left foot.
Bogaerts was injured Wednesday when he fouled a ball off his foot during a game against the Seattle Mariners. He remained in the game but ensuing imaging displayed there was a fracture.
The timetable for Bogaerts' return is still in flux but the four-time All-Star said he expects to return prior to the postseason.
'Couple weeks and looking to be back hopefully right before the regular season ends,' Bogaerts told reporters before Friday's road game against the Minnesota Twins. 'That's what I'm trying to hope for.'
San Diego recalled infielder Mason McCoy from Triple-A El Paso to fill the roster opening. Veteran utility player Jose Iglesias will be the main shortstop during Bogaerts' absence.
Bogaerts, who turns 33 on Oct. 1, is batting .262 with 10 homers and 49 RBIs in 131 games this season, his third with the Padres.
Iglesias, 35, is hitting .228 with one homer and 29 RBIs in 94 games. Friday's game marks his 989th start at shortstop since breaking into the majors in 2011.
McCoy, 30, went 0-for-5 in four games with San Diego earlier this season. He has a .182 average in 55 at-bats over 29 big-league games with the Toronto Blue Jays (2023) and Padres (2024-25).
