FERNANDO TATIS NEWS

Homers in back-to-back games Tatis went 1-for-3 with a home run in Saturday's win over the Giants.

Impact Tatis went through a 15-game homer drought earlier this month but seems to have turned things around, as the star shortstop has gone deep in each of San Diego's last two contests. Tatis enters the final day of the regular season sitting tied for the lead in homers in the NL with 17, alongside Atlanta outfielder Marcell Ozuna.

Breaks homer drought Tatis went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Game 2 of Friday's doubleheader versus San Francisco.

Impact Tatis also collected a hit and an RBI in the matinee, notching a collective 2-for-7 effort over the course of the twin bill. The long ball in Game 2 was a 458-foot smash in the third inning that staked the Padres to a two-run lead. It was Tatis' first homer since Sept. 6; in 15 games over that span, he has struggled with an uncharacteristic .173/.267/.250 slash line.

Takes seat Tuesday Tatis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

Impact With the Dodgers having clinched the NL West crown, manager Jayce Tingler has opted to give the MVP candidate a well-deserved rest in the series finale. Tatis' OPS has mostly dropped steadily over the past two weeks, but he's at least been productive over his last three starts, going 4-for-12 with a double, two walks, two stolen bases, an RBI and a run scored. Jake Cronenworth will spell Tatis at shortstop Wednesday.

Mired in slump Tatis went 0-for-4 with a walk and three strikeouts Friday and is batting .065 (2-for-31) since Sept. 8.

Impact Tatis was perhaps the favorite for NL MVP honors heading into September, but the prolonged slump has dropped his average to .275 and may be costing him a chance at the prestigious award. The hitless effort Friday marked the first time in his career that Tatis has gone without a hit in three straight games and was also his third three-strikeout game of the campaign. Despite the rough stretch, Tatis still owns a .935 OPS along with 15 home runs, 40 RBI and nine stolen bases in 2020.
