Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr. leaves vs. Reds after apparently reinjuring left shoulder

San Diego Padres star shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. exited Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds early with an apparent injury to his left shoulder, the same one that gave him trouble in spring training and landed him on the injured list at the start of the regular season.

Tatis, the National League leader in home runs, hurt the shoulder while diving to his right on an eventual base hit to left field in the fifth inning. Tatis immediately grabbed the shoulder, then exited alongside one of the Padres' trainers.

Tatis suffered a subluxation -- when the shoulder essentially slips out of position but doesn't fully dislocate -- after a violent swing on April 5.
