“Not as good (of news) as we clearly would have hoped, especially after the initial imaging,” Shildt said.
The Padres said Bogaerts, 31, did not suffer a labrum tear and does not require surgery at this time. The bone needs time to heal, but Bogaerts said he hopes to return to the lineup by late summer.(
Bogaerts, who was placed on the IL retroactive to May 21, is hitting .219 with four homers and 14 RBIs.
In related roster moves, the Padres selected the contract of outfielder David Peralta and transferred right-handed pitcher Luis Patiño to the 60-day IL.
Luis Arraez started at second base for the second straight game on Wednesday. Shildt said he will get creative in terms of replacing Bogaerts moving forward.
“The good news is, we have options between three or four different guys,” Shildt said. “We’re still in the process of figuring things out.”
