X-Rays Come Back Negative On Fernando Tatis Jr.'s Forearm
Fernando Tatis Jr. (forearm) after he was hit by a Mitch Keller pitch and exited Friday's series opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park. Tatis has been diagnosed with a left-forearm contusion and is receiving treatment. It sounds as though he has avoided a serious injury, but he will continue to be evaluated and probably will not play in Game 2 of the series on Saturday. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now and check back on Saturday for more information on his status. The 26-year-old All-Star came into the day leading the National League with a .345 average and didn't record an official at-bat on Friday after walking in his first plate appearance. He was replaced by pinch-runner Oscar Gonzalez.

Fernando Tatis Jr. Exits Early On Friday After Hit-By-Pitch
Fernando Tatis Jr. (forearm) was forced to exit early during Friday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 26-year-old was hit in the forearm by a pitch from Mitch Keller in the third inning. Tatis appeared to be obvious pain and was immediately removed from the game. The assumption is that Tatis will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. For now, Tatis should be considered day-to-day, but fantasy managers should get another update on his status soon. Oscar Gonzalez took over in right field with Tatis exiting early. Gonzalez could see more playing time in the future if Tatis is forced to miss time from this issue.

Fernando Tatis Jr. Belts His Eighth Home Run Of The Season
Fernando Tatis Jr. continues his MVP-caliber start to his 2025 campaign, hitting his eighth home run on Sunday evening. On the evening, he finished the game going 2-for-4 with a home run, three runs scored, one RBI, and one walk. Contributing to all three of the runs the Padres scored as they avoided the sweep on Sunday Night Baseball against the Houston Astros, winning 3-2. On the season, Tatis is now slashing .358/.436/.691 with eight home runs, 22 runs scored, 16 RBI, and seven stolen bases. Up next for the Tatis and the Padres is a three-game series in Detroit to take on the Tigers before they head home on Friday to host the Tampa Bay Rays. Tatis remains one of, if not the best, outfielders in fantasy baseball, so managers can certainly continue to lock him into their lineups without hesitation.
