Fernando Tatis - Returning from injured list MondayTatis (thigh) will be activated from the 60-day injured list and return to the Padres' lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers, Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune report...
ImpactTatis last played for the Padres on June 21 before being shelved with a stress reaction in his right femur. He began taking live at-bats at the team's spring training complex in Arizona last week and looked and felt good enough to clear the way for his return this week. Since he hasn't played in more than two months and is skipping a rehab assignment, rust could certainly be a factor for Tatis, but fantasy managers should probably go ahead and activate him this week, anyway.
