For the first time this season, the Padres won't pencil Fernando Tatis Jr. into their starting lineup.
The Padres will send veteran David Peralta to right field in the second game of their series against the Philadelphia Phillies instead.Acee reports that Tatis hasn't talked about the injury, but has "received treatment, limped after some hard runs in the field or on the bases, and had his upper leg wrapped after virtually every game."Ha-Seong Kim is also out of the Padres' starting lineup as the team looks to end a four-game losing streak.
Tatis has been among the team's hottest hitters lately. After a rough start to the season, he is slashing .304/.368/.482 with seven homers, 18 RBIs and four stolen bases in 42 games since May 3.J.P.
