Padres OF Fernando Tatis Jr. is not expected to return from injury this month, according to a new report.
The Padres came back from the All-Star break with what feels like a brand-new team. The club went from losing six of its last seven games before the All-Star break to winning 12 out of its last 15 games in the second half.
With the Padres’ hot streak, a speedy recovery for Tatis Jr. would be ideal. His imaging has been reported by theto be showing improvement in his femur. Additionally, he has started to incorporate baseball movements like hitting in the cage, playing catch, and light running into his rehabilitation process.
Even when the reigning NL Gold Glove outfielder returns, he will not be fully healed from the stress reaction, according to the report. This would be a similar situation to four-time All-Star Xander Boegarts’ left shoulder fracture last month. The Union-Tribune also said Tatis Jr.’s return is dependent on “how he feels and the level of healing."
