| Feb 12 2020 | Despite the fact Tatis was seen working in right field and said he would be open to playing the outfield, general manager A.J. Preller said unequivocally that Tatis will not play the outfield this spring, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: On the surface, it would be bizarre for Tatis to shift away from playing shortstop, but it's also possible he could be the team's best defensive center fielder. The Padres are already overflowing with infield depth, so that would be the logic behind a move like that in the future. For now, however, he will reprise his role as the team's everyday shortstop. |
|
| Sep 3 2019 | Tatis (back) was placed on the 60-day injured list Tuesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tatis is expected to miss the remainder of the season with a back injury, so the Padres will clear a spot on the 40-man roster by moving him to the 60-day IL. Seth Mejias-Brean will be added in a corresponding move. |

|
| Jul 20 2018 | Tatis is expected to require surgery on his fractured thumb which will keep him out for the rest of the season, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. | Tatis fractured the thumb on his non-throwing hand while sliding into second base Thursday. The Padres do not expect the issue to linger beyond this season, and there remains hope that he could avoid surgery depending on the results of an upcoming MRI, but the likely outcome is that he doesn't play again this year. The 19-year-old shortstop was cruising to a .286/.355/.507 line with 16 homers in 88 games for Double-A San Antonio and is widely considered one of the top prospects in the game. The injury costs him some development time and the chance at a promotion to Triple-A this season, which could bump back his eventual debut from early 2019 to at least the middle of next season. |
|
| Jul 20 2018 | Tatis is unlikely to return quickly after injuring his thumb while sliding into second base in a Double-A game Thursday, Dennis Lin of The Athletic San Diego reports. | Tatis had an X-ray Friday morning and will undergo an MRI over the weekend in San Diego. His status should become more clear following those tests, but the Padres already fear a possible fracture or ligament damage and do not expect him to be able to return any time soon. |
|
| Jul 2 2018 | Tatis went 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs Saturday for Double-A San Antonio in its 4-3 loss to Northwest Arkansas. | Tatis closed June with a .330/.413/.527 batting line, chipping in nine extra-base knocks (four home runs) and eight stolen bases in 24 games. The third baseman has struck out at a high clip (27.9 percent) this season, but his quick, booming bat should translate to plenty of power production to go along with acceptable batting averages as he matriculates through the system. He could get a look with Triple-A El Paso later this season before likely making his Padres debut at some point in 2019. |
|
| May 30 2018 | Tatis went 3-for-5 with a double, walk and two runs for Double-A San Antonio in its 11-6 win over Tulsa on Tuesday. | After a rough first month of the season, Tatis has adjusted to Texas League pitching in a major way and now looks like one of the top hitters on the circuit. Over 27 May contests, Tatis is slashing .351/.427/.649 and has totaled 20 extra-base hits (six home runs) to go with five stolen bases. Tatis' accomplishments are rendered more impressive by the fact that the 19-year-old is one of the youngest everyday players at his level. The Padres don't have much incentive to promote Tatis to the big club this season, but he appears poised to earn a full-time role with the Friars at some point in 2019. |
|
| May 16 2018 | Tatis went 2-for-4 with two home runs and one strikeout Tuesday for Double-A San Antonio. | He is now hitting .333/.441/.719 with five home runs and a 20:8 K:BB in 57 at-bats in May after hitting just .177 with 34 strikeouts in 96 at-bats in April. Tatis is still very firmly entrenched as a top 10 prospect for dynasty leagues, as he is the youngest player in the Texas League and is starting to showcase his impressive offensive potential. His 31.4 percent strikeout rate might worry some owners, but most of his contemporaries are two levels below him at Low-A right now, while he is at Double-A with a .242 ISO. |
|
| May 4 2018 | Tatis went 3-for-7, drove in three runs and scored twice for Double-A San Antonio in its 13-6 victory over Frisco on Thursday. | Tatis finished a home run shy of the cycle, padding his extra-base hit total to 14 over 123 plate appearances in the Texas League. Due to a 30.9 percent strikeout rate and .268 BABIP -- his worst marks as a professional -- Tatis has gotten off to a disappointing .212/.268/.442 start to the campaign, but his recent form has offered encouragement. Thursday's three-hit performance was Tatis' second in three May contests, with the 19-year-old picking up half of his extra-base hits on the season during that stretch. |
|
| Apr 25 2018 | Tatis went 2-for-4 with two home runs Tuesday for Double-A San Antonio against Frisco. | He only had five extra-base hits prior to this outburst, and while his slash line (.200/.208/.387) is still a little ugly, he seems to be turning things around. It's rare for a player to get to Double-A as a 19-year-old and have immediate success, particularly when that player skipped High-A completely, like Tatis did. There will be some adjustments for him to make this year against more advanced pitching, but the numbers should be there at the end of the campaign. He is poised to enter 2019 as a top-three prospect for dynasty leagues. |
|
| Apr 20 2018 | Tatis went 2-for-6 with two runs scored for Double-A San Antonio in the club's 10-5 win over Midland on Thursday. | After a dazzling 2017 campaign at Low-A Fort Wayne, Tatis received a late-season cameo with the Double-A affiliate and held his own, prompting the Padres to have their top prospect skip the High-A level entirely. Tatis has had a tougher go in his return to San Antonio this season, but he seems to be finding his comfort zone after an 0-for-12 start. Over his subsequent 10 starts, Tatis has turned in four multi-hit performances, though making consistent contact has been an issue. Tatis has a 32.2 percent strikeout rate over his 59 plate appearances, an eight-point increase from his 2017 mark in the Midwest League. |
|
| Apr 3 2018 | Tatis will open the year at Double-A San Antonio, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. | He went from Low-A to Double-A at the end of 2017 to join the Missions for their postseason run. After an impressive spring training, Tatis will be allowed to skip High-A completely, returning to the Texas League. It may seem counterintuitive, given the fact the Padres don't look like a team that's ready to compete, but Tatis could quickly force a promotion to Triple-A and may even get a call-up to the big leagues before the end of his age-19 season. General manager A.J. Preller believes that the best prospects need to be pushed, and the Eric Hosmer signing suggests that they expect their competitive window to open soon. If Tatis doesn't debut in 2018, look for him to receive the Kris Bryant/Ronald Acuna treatment in 2019. |
|
| Mar 12 2018 | Tatis is in the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals. | Tatis has been out since Friday with an illness. The highly-touted prospect has been having an excellent spring, though he won't be breaking camp with the Padres and is unlikely to even make his debut this season, as he's just 19 years old and has only played 14 games at the Double-A level. |
|
| Mar 9 2018 | Tatis was taken out of Friday's lineup due to an illness. | Tatis will likely remain out of Saturday's game as well while he recovers from a fever. Expect to see the 19-year-old prospect back on the field against the Giants on Sunday. |
|
| Jan 18 2018 | Tatis has been invited to the Padres' major-league camp this spring. | Tatis will join fellow prospects Luis Urias and Cal Quantrill at big league camp as the Padres look to get a better feel for their top young talent. The 19-year-old spent most of the 2017 season with Low-A Fort Wayne, hitting an impressive .281/.390/.520 with 21 homers and 29 stolen bases in 117 games with the TinCaps before jumping to Double-A San Antonio near the end of the season. Still, he appeared in just 14 games at Double-A -- hitting .255/.281/.327 in 57 plate appearances over that stretch -- so he'll likely return to San Antonio to open the season. |
|
| Nov 12 2017 | The Padres have ended Dominican Winter League play for Tatis. | This is not an injury-related decision -- the Padres believe that Tatis has seen enough action for one year, totaling around 650 plate appearances. They'll attempt to give the prospect some time off before spring training fires up. The 18-year-old third-baseman started 2017 in High-A Fort Wayne before being promoted to Double-A San Antonio, where he batted .255 in 57 plate appearances. |
|
| Jul 17 2017 | Tatis went 2-for-4 with a double and his 16th home run of the season Sunday for Low-A Fort Wayne. | Tatis has been on quite the power kick through the first half of July, racking up five home runs and 12 extra-base knocks in total over 14 games on the month. The shortstop is slashing .272/.368/.505 on the season and could earn a promotion to the California League before the campaign draws to a close. |
|
| Jun 16 2017 | Tatis, 18, is hitting .260/.338/.426 with eight home runs, 33 RBI and 12 steals through 63 games for Low-A Fort Wayne. | Perhaps not surprisingly, Tatis has struggled with plate discipline. The teenager has fanned 72 times in those 63 contests, while drawing just 26 walks. Still, the toolsy infielder looks to possess both power and speed, and may only just be starting to scratch the surface of his potential. |
|
| May 10 2017 | Tatis, 18, is hitting .242/.313/.358 with two home runs, seven steals (on 11 attempts) and a 30.6 percent strikeout rate in 134 plate appearances with Low-A Fort Wayne. | He is not handling his first full-season assignment as exceptionally as Vladimir Guerrero Jr., but Tatis has almost been a league average hitter (97 wRC+) in the Midwest League, which is an impressive achievement for any 18-year-old. Tatis is hitting .346 over his last six games, raising his average from .213 to .242 over that span. His physical tools and offensive potential remain near the top end of the spectrum, so dynasty league owners will need to remain patient as he deals with ups and downs during his first year in a full-season league. |
