Xander Bogaerts is cleared to resume baseball activities for the Padres after a foot fracture, with a season-end return now realistic. His presence should stabilize a lineup that’s leaned on Iglesias, whose .223/.283/.563 line in limited at-bats has masked the offense. Bogaerts’ .262 average, 10 homers and a 0.717 OPS this year still carry value in a deep San Diego lineup as the club chases a deep postseason run.

As Bogaerts returns, San Diego’s middle of the order could regain its bite and push the Padres further in the NL Wild Card race, just 2.5 games behind the Dodgers in the NL West. Iglesias provides veteran defense and contact while Bogaerts works his timing back, giving fantasy managers a clearer path to upside in the final stretch.
