Xander Bogaerts On Track To Return This Weekend
                
        
        San Diego Padres second baseman Xander  Bogaerts (shoulder) appears on track to return from the 10-day injured list for the final series before next week's All-Star break this weekend at home against the visiting Atlanta Braves. Bogaerts will likely face live pitching at Petco Park and play in a minor-league game or two with Single-A Lake Elsinore before being activated from the IL. The 31-year-old veteran middle infielder has been out since late May with a fractured left shoulder but has already gone 2-for-11 in four rehab games with Triple-A El Paso and is on the verge of a return to the big-league lineup. When Bogaerts does return, he'll be eased back in as San Diego's starting second baseman, which will push Jake  Cronenworth back to first base and Luis  Arraez back to designated-hitter duties. Before his injury, Bogaerts was of little help to fantasy managers, slashing .219/.265/.316 with a pathetic .581 OPS, four homers, 14 RBI and four steals in 187 at-bats.
