Xander Bogaerts is on the injured list with a fracture in his foot, forcing Jose Iglesias to fill in at shortstop and Mason McCoy to be recalled for depth as San Diego opens a road series against Minnesota. The Padres have hope Iglesias can stabilize the middle infield while Bogaerts recovers, with a quick return in sight for Bogaerts though the timetable remains a couple of weeks. The club sits two games behind the Dodgers in the NL West and will lean on depth pieces to maintain momentum.

Iglesias has been the Padres’ go-to infield defender this season (94 games, 254 at-bats, .228/.579 OPS in that span), while Bogaerts has posted a solid .717 OPS overall. For fantasy managers, McCoy is a long-shot depth option, Iglesias offers some real gloves but limited offense, and the series vs. the Twins provides a test of SD’s ability to stay afloat without their spark plug
