Fernando Tatis Jr. Not Expected Back for Padres Until July, per Sources

Fernando Tatís Jr. still hasn’t made his 2022 season debut as he continues to recover from a fractured left wrist.

It was originally reported in March that the Padres shortstop would be out around three months. However, according to Sports Illustrated’s sources, Tatís Jr. is now expected to be out until July, at the earliest. His wrist is reportedly a “slow-healing injury.” It’s unclear if he’s expected before or after the All-Star break, which begins Friday, July 15 ahead of the July 19th game.

Tatís Jr. suffered the injury in the offseason, and then underwent surgery to repair the broken left wrist in mid-March.
