Fernando Tatis is back....that is all

The last time we saw Frenando Tatis Jr. on an MLB field in 2021, he was an All-Star and MVP finalist slugging his way into our hearts. Now the San Diego Padres star is making his return to the field almost two years later due to injuries and an 80-game suspension for PEDs.

Impact on Padres lineup​

Tatis will bat leadoff and play right field when he returns, a change deemed necessary due to the Padres signing Xander Bogaerts in the offseason. The position will also limit Tatis’ workload as he readjusts to the Majors. Trent Grisham has been the Padres’ main leadoff man this year, and has hit .224 with four home runs and five RBIs in 18 games this season.
