All you need to know about when Fernando Tatis Jr. will make his much-awaited return in the upcoming 2023 MLB season.
As a result of the Padres’ strong run in the postseason, they will have their outstanding shortstop available for an additional 12 games in the year 2023. This is a positive byproduct of their victory in the postseason. After it was decided that each playoff game played by the Padres would count as one game served towards his sentence, the Padres now have a potential date for Fernando Tatis Jr.’s return to the lineup. This date was determined after it was determined that each playoff game played by the Padres would count as one game served towards his sentence.
On April 20, which would be the first game of a four-game series in Arizona, Fernando Tatis Jr. would be eligible to make his return to the lineup if the schedule were to remain as it is at the moment (though that date is subject to change with any rainouts or other postponements).
Tatis was handed a suspension for a total of 80 games after he returned a positive test for a restricted substance in the month of August. Tatis had to spend the first four months of the 2022 season healing from a fracture to his left wrist. Due to the ban he got, it was assured that Tatis would miss the entirety of the season.
Xander Bogaerts, formerly of the Boston Red Sox, was acquired by the San Diego Padres in order to bolster their squad in preparation for a real run at the World Series this year. The Padres’ goal is to win the championship. Once Tatis has recovered from his injury, this team is going to be unstoppable.
