Fernando Tatis Jr. - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Not in Wednesday's lineup Tatis is not in the Padres' starting lineup against the Mariners on Wednesday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Tatis is getting a rest day Wednesday, with the Padres rolling with Nick Castellanos, Jackson Merrill and Ramon Laureano in the outfield from right to left. Tatis has reached base safely in nine of his last 10 games, and over that span he has gone 11-for-41 (.268) with two steals, five runs scored and five RBI.

Makes first start at second base Tatis started at second base Saturday versus Colorado, going 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a stolen base.

Impact Tatis' first MLB start at the keystone came out of the blue, though he occasionally takes grounders at second during practice and made one MLB appearance there late in a game in 2023 while also logging 10 starts at the position early in his minor-league career, per Dennis Lin of The Athletic. It remains to be seen if the two-time Gold Glove award-winning outfielder will shift to second base on a frequent basis, but he looked comfortable at the position Saturday, even turning a double play. It would be a major boon for fantasy managers if Tatis can play enough at the keystone to earn eligibility there, as its generally regarded one of the shallower positions.

Steals home Wednesday Tatis went 1-for-5 with a run, an RBI and a stolen base Wednesday in an 8-2 win against Pittsburgh.

Impact Tatis' offensive contributions came in the ninth inning, when he singled in a run and later scored on a double steal that featured him swiping home. It was his third stolen base on as many attempts this season as he seeks to reach the 30-steal mark for a second straight year. While the thefts are nice, Tatis was typically a top-20 pick in fantasy drafts, so his zero homers and .196/.283/.261 slash line through 12 games leaves a lot to be desired.
