Padres' Fernando Tatis Jr.'s Wrist Injury Recovery Timeline Moved Back After CT Scan

San Diego Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr. will push his timeline back for return after negative results from Monday's CT scan, according to Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune.

The latest test "did not reveal the level of healing the Padres hoped."

Acee reported Monday the Padres were hoping Tatis could begin swinging a bat if he proved healthy enough.

Tatis suffered a broken wrist in the offseason, which forced him to undergo surgery in March. General manager A.J. Preller said it would require three months of recovery, putting him on track to return in mid-June, although he still wasn't cleared to swing a bat by late May.
