MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The San Diego Padres placed shortstop Xander Bogaerts on the 10-day injured list Friday with a non-displaced fracture in his left foot.
Bogaerts sustained the injury in Wednesday's game against Seattle when he fouled a ball off his foot. He stayed in that game, but eventually had imaging that revealed a fracture.
“Not great news,” Padres manager Mike Shildt said before Friday's game against Minnesota. “Effectively, it's a fracture that's going to require him being in a boot for a week and then evaluation from there.”
Shildt added that the team's medical staff doesn't believe it will be a season-ending injury for Bogaerts, but Shildt didn't have a timeline Friday.
Prior to the injury, Bogaerts played in 131 of the Padres' 134 games. He was batting .262 with 49 RBI and had a career-high 20 stolen bases this season.
“He was swinging the bat really well,” Shildt said. “He was playing really, really good shortstop, did a lot of things on the bases. ... A catalyst on the club.”
To take Bogaerts' spot on the roster, San Diego recalled infielder Mason McCoy from Triple-A El Paso. McCoy has appeared in four games with the Padres this year and was batting .272 with 11 home runs and 59 RBIs in 90 games at Triple-A.
San Diego entered play Friday two games behind the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West.

DENVER (AP) — A Frontier Airlines plane hit and killed a pedestrian on the runway of the Denver International Airport during takeoff, airport authorities said, sparking an engine fire and forcing passengers to evacuate.
The plane, on route from Denver to Los Angeles International Airport, “reported striking a pedestrian during takeoff at DEN at approximately 11:19 p.m. on Friday," the airport's official X account wrote.
A spokesperson for the airport said the pedestrian, who jumped a perimeter fence, has died. They said the unidentified person was hit two minutes after entering the airport. The person is not believed to be an airport employee.
“We're stopping on the runway,” the pilot tells the control tower according to the site ATC.com. “We just hit somebody. We have an engine fire.”
The pilot tells the air traffic controller they have “231 souls” on board and that an “individual was walking across the runway.”
The air traffic controller responds that they are “rolling the trucks now" before the pilot tells the tower they “have smoke in the aircraft. We are going to evacuate on the runway.”
Frontier Airlines said in a statement flight 4345 was the one involved in the collision and that “smoke was reported in the cabin and the pilots aborted takeoff.” It was not clear whether the smoke was linked to the crash with the pedestrian.
“The Airbus A321 was carrying 224 passengers and seven crew members,” the airline said. “We are investigating this incident and gathering more information in coordination with the airport and other safety authorities.”
Passengers were then evacuated via slides and the emergency crew bused them to the terminal. The airport spokesperson said 12 passengers suffered minor injuries and five were taken to local hospitals.
Denver Airport said the National Transportation Safety Board had been notified and that runway 17L, where the incident took place, will remain closed while an investigation is conducted. It is expected to open later today.
The pedestrian death came a day after a Delta Air Lines employee was killed while on the job at the Orlando International Airport. In a statement, the airline said the employee was killed Thursday night without providing details of the incident nor the name of the employee.
“We are focused on extending our full support to family and taking care of our Orlando team during this difficult time,” the airline said. "We are working with local authorities as a full investigation gets underway to determine what occurred.”
