Fernando Tatis Jr. Dealing With Shoulder Injury
2 weeks agoSan Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. (shoulder) left Tuesday's 10-4 loss to the Athletics early with left-shoulder discomfort, according to manager Mike Shildt. The skipper also said that Tatis is "checking out medically." "We erred on the side of caution and we'll evaluate. Everything seems to be intact and good shape and strength good, and he's not overly concerned." The 26-year-old superstar appeared to injure his shoulder on a swing in his second at-bat of the game, but he stayed in for a while longer before eventually being pulled. While the injury doesn't seem to be a big concern right now, fantasy managers will remember that Tatis has had issues with his left shoulder in the past, even requiring surgery. At the very least, expect him to be out through Thursday's off day, but he could also miss time going into a weekend home series against the division-rival Colorado Rockies.

Fernando Tatis Jr. Back For Friars On Friday
1 week agoSan Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. (shoulder) is back in right field and batting leadoff for the Friars in Friday's series opener at Petco Park against the division-rival Colorado Rockies and right-hander German Marquez. Tatis tweaked his surgically-repaired left shoulder on a swing in Tuesday's loss to the Athletics and was held out of the series finale on Wednesday as a precaution. It's something to watch with the 26-year-old superstar, but the fact that he's back in the lineup a few days later is encouraging. San Diego's lineup isn't nearly as strong with both Jackson Merrill (hamstring) and Jake Cronenworth (ribs) on the injured list, but Tatis remains a must-start in all fantasy formats now that he's back in action. The Dominican superstar has been on fire at the plate (.364, two homers, seven RBI, 10 runs, five steals). He's hitting .154 with a homer and three RBI in 13 career at-bats against Marquez.
