Padres News
Xander Bogaerts is a shadow of his former self, dragging the Padres down with a career-worst season that raises serious questions about his place in a playoff lineup that’s already struggling at 73-67. With the team mired in a 2-5 rut over the last week, the looming absence of Joe Musgrove compounds the problem as his rehab seems to be stalling. Meanwhile, the Padres are trying to inject some youthful energy with the call-up of 20-year-old Ethan Salas, who made history as the youngest catcher since Pudge Rodriguez. As Craig Stammen navigates this turbulent stretch, the Padres need to find a way to balance experience with youth to spark a revival in the final month of the season.
