Fernando Tatis Jr.'s Father Clarifies Reports That Padres SS Was in Motorcycle Crash
Fernando Tatis denied the reports that his son, Fernando Tatis Jr., was in a motorcycle crash in the Dominican Republic last Sunday, per the Associated Press (h/t ESPN).
He did confirm that Tatis Jr. suffered minor injuries after falling last weekend in the San Pedro de Macoris province.
"He is fine, in perfect condition," he said. "They treated him here; it's not a big deal, just a fall—he scraped his knee and hands a little."
On Dec. 7, Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune wrote: "A report out of the Dominican Republic said the incident involved a motorcycle and that Tatis was transported to a 'medical center' for treatment."
