Fernando Tatis Jr. Starting at Second Base Again on Monday
San Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. is making another start at second base and will bat in the two-hole for Monday's series opener at Petco Park against the visiting Chicago Cubs and left-hander Matthew Boyd, according to MLB.com. This will be Tatis' fourth start at second for the Friars this year, bringing him closer to gaining eligibility at the keystone in fantasy baseball leagues. Not only is this trend making the 27-year-old Dominican more attractive in fantasy, but the three-time All-Star and two-time Silver Slugger winner has gotten even hotter at the plate of late. Tatis is still searching for his first home run of 2026, but otherwise, fantasy managers can't complain, as he's gone 8-for-29 (.276) with two RBI, three runs scored, and two stolen bases in his last seven games, dating back to April 18. He'll be hoping to turn things around against Boyd in the series opener in SD on Monday. In six career at-bats against Boyd, Tatis is hitting just .167 with one RBI.
