Fernando Tatis Jr. Out For First Time All Year
5 months agoSan Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. is taking his first day off of the season on Tuesday on the road against the Philadelphia Phillies. It's a much-needed break for Tatis, who was recently on a hot streak for the Friars. But after losing a 17-game hitting streak on May 25, Tatis has just two hits in his last 18 at-bats over five games. But on the season as a whole, the 25-year-old Dominican outfielder has been strong for San Diego and his fantasy managers, slashing .273/.348/.458 with an .806 OPS, 13 home runs, 35 RBI, eight stolen bases and 48 runs scored in 297 at-bats. Tatis is a no-doubt must-start in all leagues when he's active. David Peralta is in right field and is batting seventh, while infielder Jake Cronenworth moves up to the two-hole on Tuesday against Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola.
