Fernando Tatis Jr. Does Some Sprints Thursday
4 months agoSan Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. (thigh) ran some sprints at Petco Park before the series opener on Thursday against the New York Mets for the first time since he went on the injured list with a stress reaction in his thigh in June. Tatis estimates that he ran at about 70 percent intensity. The Padres have been pretty tight-lipped about Tatis' rehab, and there remains no timetable for him to start a minor-league rehab assignments, so the 25-year-old All-Star isn't going to rejoin the Padres until sometime in September, possibly mid-September. Tatis is a difference-maker both in real life for the Friars and for fantasy managers when he's on the field, so he should remain stashed in an IL spot in all leagues. The Dominican superstar was hitting a strong .279/.354/.468 with an .821 OPS, 14 home runs, 36 RBI and eight stolen bases in 308 at-bats at the time of his injury.
