Xander Bogaerts has struggled a lot this season and just when he might be turning the corner offensively, he gets hurt. The Padres second baseman couldn’t continue in Atlanta after injuring his left shoulder on a dive.

Sure, this isn’t Jurickson Profar getting hurt but it’s still a guy who’s supposed to be one of their biggest contributors. This is someone who takes pride in posting as much as he can and has a track record of success at the big league level.
