Fernando Tatis Pounds Eighth Home Run
4 years agoSan Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. went 1-for-3 with a walk and solo home run Sunday against the San Francisco Giants. After going hitless the first two games this weekend, Tatis powered a first-inning offering from Giants starter Kevin Gausman into the right field porch for his eighth dinger of 2021. The dynamic 22-year-old continues to reward fantasy managers that held tight through an early shoulder scare, sporting a .240/.326/.600 slash with five steals and 32 runs-plus-RBI to complement the long balls in 86 plate appearances. With his strikeout rate starting to level off below 30 percent, Tatis' elite batted-ball profile supports sustained fantasy goodness as long as he remains healthy.
