Fernando Tatis Jr. Taking Next Steps In Recovery, Remains Without Timetable
4 months agoSan Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. (thigh, quadriceps) has begun going through baseball activities, including long toss, but remains without a timetable. Manager Mike Shildt expressed that the 25-year-old is "taking those next steps" but did not suggest any potential return window. However, Shildt did note that when he ramps up, he will get ready quickly. Tatis hit the 10-day injured list last June and was eventually shifted to the 60-day IL due to a femoral stress reaction. Before the injury, the budding star was enjoying a nice season as he boasted a .279/.354/.468 line with 14 home runs and eight stolen bases. He posted an elite 13.9% barrel rate and 53.8% hard-hit rate. Fantasy managers should continue to stash Tatis on their injured reserve, as he could push your team over the edge if he returns sometime next month.
