Knocks in three runs Tatis went 2-for-5 with three RBI in Wednesday's 5-3 win against the Cubs.

Impact Tatis came up big late in the contest for San Diego, plating two runs with a single in the seventh and another run with a single in the ninth. The pair of knocks extended his hitting streak to five games, though he's tallied just one extra-base hit (a homer) over that span. Tatis has also yet to steal a base this season after racking up 52 thefts over 273 regular-season games across his first three big-league campaigns.

Belts first long ball Tatis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored Saturday in a 5-3 win against Arizona.

Impact Tatis opened the scoring in the contest with a solo shot to left field in the first inning. It was his first long ball and just his second hit in three games since returning from his PED suspension Thursday. Despite the homer, Tatis appears to still be struggling to find his footing, as he's hitting just .154 with four strikeouts over 13 at-bats.

Gets first hit of campaign Tatis went 1-for-4 with a strikeout in Friday's loss to Arizona.

Impact Tatis went 0-for-5 with a pair of strikeouts in his season debut Thursday before notching his first hit of the campaign -- a single to center in the sixth inning -- Friday. The star shortstop-turned-outfielder destroyed minor-league pitching to the tune of a .515/.590/1.212 slash line and seven homers in eight games leading up to his activation from an 80-game PED suspension, but he's finding the going tougher as he faces big-league pitching for the first time since 2021. Of course, there's little value in trying to draw conclusions from a two-game sample, so fantasy managers who have stashed Tatis to this point in the season have no reason to panic.

At leadoff in return Thursday Tatis has been activated from his PED suspension and is batting leadoff Thursday night against the Diamondbacks, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

Impact Tatis will start in right field and lead things off for the Padres in his first major-league game since October 2021. He went ballistic during his eight-game tuneup with Triple-A El Paso, batting .515 with a 1.802 OPS, seven home runs, 15 RBI, two stolen bases and 11 runs scored across 39 plate appearances. Recovered from wrist and shoulder surgeries and having served out an 80-game suspension for performance-enhancing drugs, the 24-year-old can now finally reclaim his place as one of the most productive position players in the sport.
