Bogaerts will be the Padres' starting shortstop during the upcoming season, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports. San Diego shifted Bogaerts to second base ahead of the 2024 campaign, and he ended up making 85 starts there. However, the veteran infielder did start 16 times at shortstop, with all of those appearances coming at the end of the season after Ha-Seong Kim landed on the injured list due to a shoulder injury. Kim is now in Tampa Bay, which made Bogaerts' return to shortstop an expected scenario. For fantasy purposes, it's important to note that Bogaerts made 20 appearances at the position in total during the 2024 regular season, so he should have dual-position eligibility from the beginning of the season in most formats.

Bogaerts (hamstring) will start at shortstop and bat sixth Tuesday in Game 3 of the NLDS against the Dodgers. Bogaerts was removed from Game 2 on Sunday with a hamstring cramp, but he's ready to roll as the series shift to San Diego. The veteran infielder is 3-for-8 with one home run and three RBI in the first two games of the series.

Bogaerts (hamstring) exited Sunday's 10-2 win over the Dodgers in the eighth inning due to a hamstring injury, Sam Dykstra of MiLB.com reports. Bogaerts launched a solo home run in the top of the eighth inning before exiting the contest soon after with what has been described as a hamstring cramp. Tyler Wade replaced him at shortstop ahead of the bottom of the frame. Bogaerts finished his night 1-for-4 with the solo shot, and his availability moving forward doesn't seem to be in question.

Bogaerts is absent from Sunday's lineup against Arizona. Bogaerts will get some rest for the regular-season finale, and unless he comes in to pinch hit, he'll head into the playoffs with a slash line of .264/.307/.381, 13 stolen bases, 11 home runs and 44 RBI across 463 plate appearances. Nick Ahmed will start at shortstop Sunday and bat fifth.

Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's win over the White Sox. Bogaerts launched a two-run homer on a hanging cutter from Chris Flexen in his first trip to the plate to put San Diego up 2-0 early. It marked the shortstop's 11th long ball on the campaign and his fourth this month, during which he's batting just .234 with 10 RBI and six runs scored. Bogaerts has also hit safely in each of his last three contests, though he had gone five games without recording a run or an RBI coming into Saturday.
