The San Diego Padres haven’t had Fernando Tatis Jr.’s bat in the lineup since the end of the 2021 season. That streak will end tomorrow, as the 24-year-old is scheduled to be the designated hitter for San Diego’s Spring Training matchup in Scottsdale, Arizona against the San Francisco Giants.
It’s a go.
