US EditionPadres star Fernando Tatis Jr. is back in the lineup a day after taking a fastball to the forearm
- On May 3, 2025, Fernando Tatis Jr., the San Diego Padres outfielder, was hit by a 93-mph fastball to his left forearm during a game in Pittsburgh against the Pirates.
- The Padres, who are chasing the Los Angeles Dodgers in a competitive NL West, have faced injuries to key players including Luis Arraez and Jackson Merrill, contributing to a challenging season start.
- Tatis showed immediate swelling and pain, left the game in the third inning, and Oscar Gonzalez substituted in right field as Tatis received treatment and continued evaluation after initial X-rays showed no fracture.
- At 26 years old, Tatis was hitting.345 and had already tallied eight round-trippers, seven bases stolen, and 18 RBIs across 29 games, positioning him as a top contender for the National League MVP this year.
- Manager Mike Shildt remarked on how quickly the swelling developed, describing it as visibly increasing before their eyes, and stressed the importance of having Tatis fully healthy as the Padres continue their bid for the division lead.
