2 years agoSan Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr.'s shoulder surgery is being postponed due to a non-COVID-19-related illness involving strep throat and a fever. The Padres will provide an update when the surgery is rescheduled. Tatis was scheduled to go under the knife after MLB handed him an 80-game suspension for violating the league's performance-enhancing drug policy. It remains to be seen how long the 23-year-old's surgery will be delayed, but he should still have plenty of time to be ready for the start of the 2023 campaign. Tatis was obviously a huge disappointment in 2022 after first fracturing his wrist in an offseason motorcycle accident. He'll start the season finishing off his suspension, but whenever he returns, he'll be one of the most coveted fantasy assets in the game.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
