Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Starts at shortstop Tuesday
Xander Bogaerts started at shortstop and went 0-for-4 win Tuesday's 7-3 win against the Mariners.San Diego had been considering moving Bogaerts from second to shortstop with the timeline for Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder) to return from the IL looking murky. Bogaerts' start at shortstop was his first of the campaign, though he had been used there four times previously this year and had played almost exclusively at the position before shifting to second base to begin this season. Jake Cronenworth shifted from first base to second Tuesday while Donovan Solano started at first base, and that could be the most common configuration for the San Diego Padres moving forward -- at least against right-handed pitchers -- for as long as Kim remains sidelined.

The 31-year-old moved to shortstop mid-game Sunday versus the Giants after the Padres pinch-hit for shortstop Mason McCoy when they were trailing by five runs at the time. Bogaerts has now been used at shortstop four times this season but has not made a start there.
