Fernando Tatis Jr. is feeling a lot better, a huge relief to the star San Diego shortstop, his team and his many fans. A day after Tatis walked off the field during an exhibition game in a worrisome scene, the Padres said the discomfort in his left shoulder had improved.
In fact, the flashy 22-year-old wanted to play Wednesday night against San Francisco in Scottsdale, Arizona. No way, manager Jayce Tingler said. “He’s feeling really good today.
In fact he was lobbying to get in the lineup today, so I thought that was very encouraging,” Tingler said. “He’s going to have a good work day today and we’ll kind of see where it goes.
