Closes campaign with two K's Tatis went 0-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts in Sunday's loss to the Giants.

Impact There was little to play for in the season finale for an underachieving Padres club, but Tatis at least had a chance to prop up his bid for the NL MVP award. Instead, the electrifying youngster continued an end-of-season slide that saw him strike out 15 times over his final 26 at-bats. Tatis' huge numbers -- a .282/.364/.611 slash line, 42 home runs, 97 RBI, 99 runs and 25 stolen bases -- should still earn him plenty of consideration for MVP, but San Diego's second-half freefall and Tatis' underwhelming finish could dampen his credentials in the minds of voters.

Gets rare day off Tatis will sit Sunday against Atlanta.

Impact Tatis has started every game since returning from a shoulder injury in mid-September, but he'll sit Sunday after Saturday's loss officially knocked the Padres out of the playoffs. Given the injuries he's played through this season, it's possible he sits a few more times before the end of the year, as the Padres have little incentive to risk the superstar's future in games that have become essentially meaningless. Ha-Seong Kim will start at shortstop.
