Fernando Tatis Jr. Fantasy Stats

San Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. (illness) is starting in right field and will hit in his usual leadoff spot for Friday's series opener against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks and right-hander Zac Gallen at Petco Park. Tatis was battling the flu and COVID this week and missed the entire three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers. The 26-year-old is feeling much better now, though, and will return for the final regular-season series this weekend before the wild-card round of the postseason begins next Tuesday. He'll get his legs back under him this weekend and will look to continue swinging a hot bat before his illness. In his last eight games going into this week, Tatis had gone 13-for-32 with two home runs, three RBI, 11 runs, and three steals. The Padres are going to need Tatis clicking on all cylinders if they want to make a deep run in October.

It's a situation that fantasy managers will have to monitor during the last several days of the regular season. Tatis has once again provided plenty of value this year with a .267/.367/.438 line, 23 homers, 66 RBI, and career highs in runs scored (108) and stolen bases (32) over 681 plate appearances.

This is a rare off day for Tatis who hasn't sat out of a game since September 1. The Padres want to keep their key players rested and ready to go for the postseason. Ryan O'Hearn will cover right field and bat fifth versus right-hander Freddy Peralta on Monday. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly with Tatis absent.

San Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. (hamstring) is back in right field and will hit in his customary leadoff spot for Tuesday's ballgame at Petco Park against the visiting Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Tyler Wells, who is making his first start of the year. Tatis dealt with hamstring tightness in the series finale against the Minnesota Twins on Sunday but stayed in the game before being scratched from the lineup for Monday's series opener against the O's as a precaution. The 26-year-old All-Star is back in there on Tuesday, though, and will look to get going at the plate in the final month of the season. The Dominican outfielder's power has been down of late and is hitting .231/.348/.385 with five RBI and seven runs scored in his last 10 games. Tatis only hit one homer while driving in 13 and stealing five bases in 27 games in August.

Tatis was expected to play, but was ultimately held out due to hamstring tightness. After Sunday's game, Tatis mentioned that he has been dealing with hamstring tightness. The Padres will take the cautious approach and hold him out of this game. Luis Arraez will move into the leadoff spot.

There should be another update on his status ahead of Tuesday's game.

San Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. (hamstring) expects to play Monday against the Baltimore Orioles despite hamstring tightness, Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports. Tatis grabbed at his right hamstring in the seventh inning of a 7-2 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Sunday, and the three-time All-Star said after the game that he's dealing with "a little tightness, nothing crazy." Tatis has played in 134 of the Padres' 137 games this year and slashed .264/.370/.430 with 18 homers, 57 RBI, 93 runs scored, and 27 stolen bases over 600 plate appearances.

San Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. is starting in right field and is batting cleanup for Wednesday's series finale against the visiting Washington Nationals and left-hander MacKenzie Gore at Petco Park. With Tatis moving out of the cleanup spot for the first time all season, first baseman Luis Arraez will shift to the leadoff spot as the Padres continue to search for more offense. In 22 games in June, Tatis is hitting a pedestrian .250 (20-for-80) with two home run, four doubles, nine RBI, five steals and 18 runs scored. The 26-year-old two-time All-Star should have more opportunities to drive in runs but will be facing a pitcher in the midst of a breakout season. He's also struggled against lefties in 2025, going 13-for-74 (.176) with only one of his 15 home runs and 20 K's in 88 trips to the plate. Tatis has hit .200 with an RBI in just five career at-bats versus Gore.

San Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. hit his 15th homer of the season on Monday night in a 10-6 loss to the Nationals. He finished the game 1-for-5 with three RBI after connecting on the three-run blast in the ninth inning off relief pitcher Zach Brzykcy. After a rough stretch in May, Tatis has started mashing again with a 63.2% hard-hit rate over his last 13 games while going 14-for-46 (.304) with a .415 wOBA. Of his 15 homers this season, 11 have come at Petco Park, where he has a .284 home batting average and a .396 home wOBA. Tatis and the Friars continue their homestand with two more games against the Nats before going on the road to Cincinnati and Philadelphia, two homer-friendly parks. If he keeps catching barrels, Tatis should remain an excellent fantasy option in all formats.
