Fernando Tatis Jr. returns to the San Diego Padres after a two-month injury hiatus, set to play against the Detroit Tigers. He last played in June and had been working out in Arizona before his activation.

Welcomed warmly by teammates, Tatis expressed confidence in his readiness. Initially dealing with a quadriceps issue, further imaging revealed a stress reaction. Previously, he earned accolades for his performance in the outfield and was an All-Star shortstop in 2021.
