Fernando Tatis Jr. Cleared To Resume Baseball Activities
2 years agoSan Diego Padres shortstop/outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. (shoulder, wrist) has been cleared to resume baseball activities this weekend, according to a team source. Tatis is recovering from multiple surgeries in 2022. He had surgery on a partially torn labrum in his left shoulder in September and has had two surgeries on the scaphoid bone in his left wrist, with the latest one coming in October. The 24-year-old isn't eligible to return from his suspension until April 20, but he's expected to be ready for spring training. Tatis hasn't played since the end of 2021 and it's unclear exactly where he'll be playing defensively in 2023 after the addition of shortstop Xander Bogaerts. The young superstar has incredible upside when healthy, but even coming off multiple surgeries and a lost season in 2022, Tatis will be an early-round risk/reward fantasy commodity.
