Fernando Tatis Jr. Undergoes Second Wrist Surgery
2 years agoSan Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (wrist), who already had surgery to fix a partially torn labrum in his left shoulder in early September, underwent a second wrist surgery last week. Tatis initially had surgery to fix a fractured scaphoid bone in his left wrist in March and had worked himself back on the cusp of a return before he was suspended for a banned substance on Aug. 12. There was concern how the repair would hold up long term, according to multiple sources, which is why he had the second surgery. President of baseball operations A.J. Preller said Tatis should still be ready for spring training next year. As long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks this offseason, the 23-year-old should be a first-round fantasy selection after leading the National League with 42 home runs in 2021.
