Fernando Tatis Jr. Will Be Out Well Past All-Star Break
5 months agoSan Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. (quadriceps) told reporters on Monday that he knows he'll be out well past the All-Star break in mid-July. Tatis didn't get into an exact timetable, but fantasy managers are going to need to be patient here after he was placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday with a right femoral stress reaction in his quadriceps muscle. It's a tough break for fantasy managers and the Padres, as the 25-year-old outfielder has been strong offensively again in 2024 with a .279/.354/.468 slash line with 14 home runs, 36 RBI and an .822 OPS in 345 plate appearances. He needs to remain stashed in an IL spot in all fantasy formats. Bryce Johnson got the start in Monday's extra-inning win over the Washington Nationals after being called up from the minors, but David Peralta and Jose Azocar could also be involved in right field moving forward with Tatis sidelined.
