The San Diego Padres are welcoming back a familiar face in an unusual place.
Fernando Tatis Jr. is back in the lineup, but instead of playing his customary shortstop position, he'll make his first career start in right field for Sunday's series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Tatis has been on the injured list since July 30 with left shoulder inflammation after partially dislocating his shoulder while sliding into third base. He has left three games this season because he partially dislocated his shoulder, with offseason surgery a possibility.
While recovering from this latest injury, Tatis started shagging fly balls in center field, leading to questions about where on the field he might play upon his return.
