Returns to action Sunday Tatis (ankle) entered in the eighth frame of Sunday's extra-innings loss to Philadelphia and went 1-for-2 with two RBI while finishing the contest in right field.

Impact Tatis twisted his ankle on the warning track while playing the field in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader and was held out of the starting lineup Sunday. However, with the Padres facing a two-run deficit and the bases loaded with two outs in the eighth inning, manager Bob Melvin turned to Tatis to pinch hit. The move paid off, as Tatis deliver a two-run single to tie the contest. He remained in the game to play right field and logged another at-bat, grounding out to shortstop in the 11th frame. Given that Tatis was able to log four-plus innings on defense despite a wet field, it appears that his ankle is fine, and he suggested after the contest that he'll be back in the lineup Tuesday following an off day Monday. Per Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune, Tatis said, "I feel good. I feel confident, especially with the off day tomorrow. It's gonna be a good day to bounce back."

Pops two-run homer Tatis went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's win over the Phillies.

Impact Tatis had gone through a bit of a power outage, managing just one long ball in his last 17 games heading into the All-Star break, so it was nice to see him start the second half with a bang. Despite missing several weeks at the start of the year while completing an 80-game PED suspension, Tatis has been a top-50 earner in rotisserie baseball to date this season. He remains a superstar in the fantasy game.
