The Padres transferred Fernando Tatis Jr. from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list on Wednesday. He has been out with a right femoral stress reaction since June 22. The Padres replaced him on the 40-man roster with shortstop Mason McCoy.
In case that wasn't formally clear, the Padres transferred Tatis, a two-time National League All-Star, from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list on Wednesday.Tatis Jr. endured a right femoral stress reaction that has sidelined him since June 22. The injury was more severe than initially anticipated. Wednesday marked 60 days since his initial IL placement.
To clear space for McCoy’s contract to be selected, the Padres moved Fernando Tatis Jr. to the 60-day IL. That’s procedural — today is 60 days on the IL for Tatis anyway. Matthew Batten was optioned.The IL move is unfortunate but unsurprising news for the Padres. The two-time Silver Slugger had been a valuable lineup presence prior to the injury, as he was leading the team with 14 home runs.
Although the Gold Glove right fielder has yet to be cleared for a minor league rehabilitation assignment, he has made some progress in his recovery. Therecently reported that Tatis Jr. has been doing some light running and playing catch on Tuesday. Tatis Jr. is also regularly hitting in the batting cage. This is similar to what he has been doing over the past few weeks, but he slowly increases the intensity as he progresses.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his recovery, Tatis Jr. does not seem to have lost hope that we will be able to make his way back eventually. According to Acee, Tatis Jr. said, “I’ll be back soon,” after walking off the field on Tuesday.
