Padres' Fernando Tatis: Joins offensive onslaught
Rotowire
Tatis went 2-for-4 with a home run, three total runs, three total RBI and a walk in Saturday's 21-0 thrashing of the Rockies.
To put things in perspective, every one of San Diego's starters got at least one hit Saturday, and Tatis was one of five players on the team to rack up at least three RBI. He also hit one of the squad's five homers, belting a three-run shot in the fifth inning. The long ball snapped a 15-game homerless stretch for Tatis, and the three RBI matched the total amount of runs batted in that he had accumulated during that span.

Rotowire
Tatis (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
Tatis exited prior to the bottom of the fifth inning of Tuesday's 10-4 loss due to discomfort in his left shoulder -- the same one he had surgically repaired late in the 2022 season. Per AJ Cassavell of MLB.com, Tatis said after the game that he doesn't believe the injury is anything that will linger or force him to the injured list, but he'll get at least one game off.
