Xander Bogaerts has two hits in return to Padres lineup

San Diego Padres second baseman Xander Bogaerts came off the injured list Friday and went 2-for-4 in a series-opening, 6-1 loss to the Atlanta Braves.

Bogaerts had been sidelined with a broken left shoulder. He was hurt when he landed awkwardly on a diving attempt at Ronald Acuña Jr.'s RBI infield single in Atlanta on May 20.

He was batting .219 with four homers and 14 RBIs before the injury.

To make room on the active roster, catcher Brett Sullivan was optioned to Triple-A El Paso.

The Padres also recalled right-hander Sean Reynolds from El Paso and placed left-hander Wandy Peralta on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to Wednesday, with a left adductor strain.
