Padres general manager A.J. Preller suggested Tuesday that Tatis (thigh) remains without a clear timeline for a return from the 10-day injured list, though the 25-year-old is expected to play again this season, MLB.com reports. "We expect him to be back. Exactly when? That's something we've still got to get more information from our doctors," Preller said. "But every report I've gotten has been really positive."
Tatis was placed on the 10-day IL on June 24 with a right femoral stress reaction. He underwent an MRI over the All-Star break and was cleared for light baseball activities after imaging revealed sufficient healing, but updates on Tatis' status have been scarce since then. The star outfielder still looks to be at least a couple weeks away from being ready to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment. Expect the Padres to continue to get by with a platoon of David Peralta and Bryce Johnson in right field in the meantime.
