Fernando Tatis Jr. Fantasy

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. returned to workouts Saturday and got in a full session. The 21-year-old missed the past couple days feeling under the weather. Hes tested negative for COVID-19 several times. After a back injury cut his sensational 2019 rookie season short, Tatis will look to build off his .969 OPS, 22 homers and 16 steals in just 84 games. Hes a consensus top-20 pick in drafts as a potential five category fantasy monster.

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (headache) was held out of workouts for the second consecutive day Friday. The team claims the move is precautionary as Tatis has tested negative for COVID-19. The 21-year-old stud shined in his 2019 debut with a .969 OPS, 22 homers and 16 steals, but was shut down after just 84 games with a back injury. Padre fans and the fantasy community will hold their breaths alike, as Tatis was expected to be a five-category monster drafted in the top 20. In his absence, prospect infielders CJ Abrams and Gabriel Arias will get more reps at the six. Third baseman Manny Machado can also slide over to short while recently-acquired shortstop Jorge Mateo is also dealing with coronavirus.

Known for his relentless motor, San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. could be a primary beneficiary of a shortened season. After a roaring debut in 2019 with a .969 OPS, 22 homers and 16 steals in 84 games, the 21-year-old phenom was shutdown with a lower back injury. That marked his third serious injury in 13 months. Fully healthy, the face of the franchise expects to play daily and Padres leadership confirmed he wont be limited in any capacity. At the lofty ADP of 17, Tatis will need to cash on his uber-high ceiling to reward fantasy investors. But with hard-hit, barrel rate and sprint speed metrics all in the top-20th percentile, the five-category potential is tough to ignore.
