Padres say Tatis should be able to avoid shoulder surgery
The San Diego Padres say shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. should be able to avoid surgery on his left shoulderAPRIL 7, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Heading to IL, avoids surgery Tatis was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday and will begin a rest-and-rehab program for a slight labrum tear in his left shoulder, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
Impact It's undoubtedly good news for the 22-year-old, as surgery likely would have resulted in an absence of multiple months. The Padres apparently hope Tatis will be able to return after spending the 10-day minimum on the shelf, but the team figures to remain cautious to avoid rushing him back onto the field. According to Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times, general manager A.J. Preller said there is minimal long-term risk for additional damage by returning this season, so it could be a short stay on the injured list for Tatis, even if he does miss more than the required 10 days.

Headed for MRI Manager Jayce Tingler said Tatis will undergo an MRI on Tuesday after he exited Monday's 3-2 loss to the Giants with what the Padres have initially diagnosed as a partially disloca...
Impact Tingler declined to speculate on how long Tatis would be sidelined until the results of the MRI are available, but if he's revealed to have suffered a labral tear that would require surgery, the 22-year-old would likely miss multiple months. Even if surgery isn't deemed necessary, Tatis will almost certainly require a stint on the 10-day injured list while treating the shoulder issue through rest and rehab. Ha-Seong Kim replaced Tatis at shortstop Monday and would presumably be the main beneficiary of increased starts if Tatis is in fact forced to miss time.

Diagnosed with shoulder subluxation Tatis left Monday's game against the Giants with a partial dislocation of his left shoulder, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact The Padres will re-evaluate Tatis on Tuesday and should have a better idea on a timeline for his return shortly after. If Tatis is forced to miss significant time, Ha-Seong Kim could get the first crack as the club's starting shortstop.

Exits clutching left arm Tatis left Monday's game against the Giants after suffering an apparent left arm injury on a swing, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.
Impact Tatis hit the dirt immediately after striking out, and he eventually walked off the field with his left arm being held in place by manager Jayce Tingler, per Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune. The severity of the injury is not yet known, though this is the last thing the Padres want to see so early in the season.

Hits first homer Tatis went 2-for-4 with a walk and a solo homer in Sunday's loss to the Diamondbacks.
Impact Tatis had reached base just three times in the first three games, so it was encouraging to see some better results Sunday. Less encouraging was his performance on the defensive side of the ball, as he made a pair of errors to bring his total to five in just four games, though his bat is clearly strong enough to keep him in the lineup on an everyday basis even if he continues to struggle in the field.
