  Fernando Tatis Jr. Cleared To Resume Baseball Activities

  San Diego Padres shortstop/outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. (shoulder, wrist) has been cleared to resume baseball activities this weekend, according to a team source. Tatis is recovering from multiple surgeries in 2022. He had surgery on a partially torn labrum in his left shoulder in September and has had two surgeries on the scaphoid bone in his left wrist, with the latest one coming in October. The 24-year-old isn't eligible to return from his suspension until April 20, but he's expected to be ready for spring training. Tatis hasn't played since the end of 2021 and it's unclear exactly where he'll be playing defensively in 2023 after the addition of shortstop Xander Bogaerts. The young superstar has incredible upside when healthy, but even coming off multiple surgeries and a lost season in 2022, Tatis will be an early-round risk/reward fantasy commodity.

  Fernando Tatis Jr. Will Miss First 20 Games Of 2023

  As a result of the San Diego Padres playing 12 postseason games, shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (wrist) will be eligible to return from his suspension after missing the first 20 games of the 2023 season. He'll be eligible to return on Thursday, April 20, for the start of a four-game road trip against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Tatis began the 2022 season on the injured list due to a fractured wrist and was then suspended 80 games by the league for performance-enhancing drugs, so he didn't step foot on the field for the Friars. The 23-year-old has had two surgeries on his left wrist, and he should be ready to go for fantasy managers once he's eligible to return in late April. Tatis also had surgery on his left shoulder during his time off.

  Fernando Tatis Jr. Undergoes Second Wrist Surgery

  San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (wrist), who already had surgery to fix a partially torn labrum in his left shoulder in early September, underwent a second wrist surgery last week. Tatis initially had surgery to fix a fractured scaphoid bone in his left wrist in March and had worked himself back on the cusp of a return before he was suspended for a banned substance on Aug. 12. There was concern how the repair would hold up long term, according to multiple sources, which is why he had the second surgery. President of baseball operations A.J. Preller said Tatis should still be ready for spring training next year. As long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks this offseason, the 23-year-old should be a first-round fantasy selection after leading the National League with 42 home runs in 2021.

  Fernando Tatis Jr. Has Successful Shoulder Surgery Tuesday

  San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. had a successful surgery Tuesday to repair the labrum in his left shoulder, per San Diego-Union Tribune's Kevin Acee. The procedure was performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles. The 23-year-old should have plenty of time to heal before the start of the 2023 season, although he will need to finish his 80-game suspension for violating the league's performance-enhancing drug policy. Tatis was a huge fantasy bust this season after first fracturing his wrist in an off-season motorcycle accident, then receiving the suspension. That being said, he will remain a top fantasy option once he returns.

  Fernando Tatis Jr.'s Shoulder Surgery Postponed

  San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr.'s shoulder surgery is being postponed due to a non-COVID-19-related illness involving strep throat and a fever. The Padres will provide an update when the surgery is rescheduled. Tatis was scheduled to go under the knife after MLB handed him an 80-game suspension for violating the league's performance-enhancing drug policy. It remains to be seen how long the 23-year-old's surgery will be delayed, but he should still have plenty of time to be ready for the start of the 2023 campaign. Tatis was obviously a huge disappointment in 2022 after first fracturing his wrist in an offseason motorcycle accident. He'll start the season finishing off his suspension, but whenever he returns, he'll be one of the most coveted fantasy assets in the game.

  Fernando Tatis Jr. Will Have Shoulder Surgery

  San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (shoulder), who is already out for the rest of the 2022 season while serving an 80-game suspension, announced on Tuesday that he'll undergo shoulder surgery. Tatis decided not to have shoulder surgery last offseason, but it makes sense for him to get it out of the way now. The 23-year-old star wasn't ready for the start of this year after fracturing his wrist while riding a motorcycle, and he was nearing his return to the lineup before his 80-game suspension was announced. Tatis' stock is down after all of his injuries and now with his lengthy suspension, but as long as he's healthy heading into the 2023 campaign, he should be one of the highest-upside young players in baseball.
