Manning right field in return Padres general manager A.J. Preller said Tatis (shoulder) will be activated from the 10-day injured list Sunday and will start in right field and bat leadoff in the Padres' series...

Impact After being placed on the IL on July 31 following his latest setback with his dislocated left shoulder, Tatis began working out in the outfield in recent days, likely as a means of limiting the strain on his shoulder upon rejoining the roster. Though the inflammation in Tatis' shoulder has calmed down during his stint on the shelf, offseason surgery to address the matter once and for all remains a possibility for the 22-year-old. Even so, Tatis proved earlier this season that he could play at a high level with his left shoulder at less than 100 percent, so fantasy managers should have no qualms about activating him ahead of the Padres' upcoming six-game week. It's unclear if he'll end up filling a permanent role in right field now that he's been activated, but if Tatis does play regularly at the position the rest of the way, he'll likely carry eligibility at both shortstop and outfield in the majority of fantasy leagues entering 2022.

Sunday or Monday return expected Tatis (shoulder) is expected to be activated from the injured list Sunday or Monday, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

Impact The star shortstop was expected to return during this weekend series in Arizona, but it's possible the Padres wait until Monday in Colorado to reinstate him. It's unclear where in the field Tatis will play once activated, but that his potent bat will be in the lineup is the most important thing, from a fantasy perspective.

Not returning Friday Tatis (shoulder) won't be activated for Friday's game against the Diamondbacks, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

Impact Tatis is expected to be reinstated from the 10-day injured list sometime during the team's weekend series in Arizona, but Jake Cronenworth will remain at shortstop Friday. However, manager Jayce Tingler said the 22-year-old will go through a full workout ahead of Friday's game. If Tatis feels good following the workout, he'll likely be activated Saturday or Sunday.

Trending toward weekend return The Padres are expected to reinstate Tatis (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list during this weekend's series in Arizona, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact According to Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune, Tatis has been working out exclusively in right field as of Tuesday since being placed on the IL on July 31, but Acee notes that the Padres have yet to decide what position the 22-year-old will play upon his return to action. Per Acee, Tatis was on the field Wednesday sporting gloves for both outfield and shortstop, and the Padres are planning on having him take grounders ahead of the team's series finale with the Marlins. Expect both the training and coaching staffs to monitor Tatis' workout with a keen eye before a decision is made on where he'll play and if he'll be activated this weekend. Though he's said to making substantial progress in his recovery from the shoulder issue, Tatis is still expected to require offseason surgery to provide a more permanent fix to the injury that he initially suffered in April.

Move to outfield appears likely Tatis has worked exclusively in the outfield while rehabbing from his latest shoulder injury, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact The superstar shortstop is making steady progress toward a return, but he has yet to take any grounders at shortstop. Instead, he has been spending time learning the intricacies of playing the outfield, with Monday's work described as his "most stringent" activity in the outfield to date. San Diego has yet to officially announce the position shift, though outfield coach Wayne Kirby sounded like the move is a near certainty. "When it is decided, he's going to be good out there," Kirby stated Monday. "He'll be at the top of the food chain." Tatis could see time in both center and right field upon his return in an effort to reduce the likelihood of another shoulder injury.

Hits on field Tatis (shoulder) took batting practice on the field Monday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Things looked dire for Tatis at the start of the month, when season-ending surgery to address his left shoulder inflammation was reportedly on the table. The Padres were considering going that route if the shortstop's shoulder didn't improve, but he's apparently doing much better. Assuming he checks out fine following batting practice, his return timeline should start to become clear soon.
