Fernando Tatis Jr.'s Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

San Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. continued his torrid offensive postseason in Tuesday's National League Division Series Game 3 6-5 win over the Dodgers. Tatis Jr. went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run. The 25-year-old capped off a six-run second inning, obliterating an 0-2 Walker Buehler fastball into the left-field seats. Tatis Jr. put together a solid offensive regular season and has been on fire in the postseason, batting .556 with four HR and seven RBI in 18 at-bats. The Padres' lineup has performed well throughout the playoffs as well, making Tatis Jr. a standout DFS play.

San Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. bashed two homers en route to a 10-2 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 2 of the NLDS on Sunday. Tatis finished the game 3-for-4 with a double, two homers, three runs scored, and three RBI. Not a bad day at the office. He was also hit by a pitch by Jack Flaherty after homering and doubling off him, which caused some fireworks. The Dodgers can't seem to get Tatis out, as he has gone 5-for-8 in the first two games of this series and is now sitting at a ridiculous 9-for-14 in the playoffs as a whole. He is making an early bid for playoff MVP, although there is obviously a long way to go yet.

San Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. got things started in Tuesday's wild-card Game 1 4-0 win against the Braves. Tatis Jr. went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk. The 25-year-old wasted no time getting the offense going, launching a first-inning AJ Smith-Shawver first-pitch fastball deep into the left-field seats to ignite the Padres faithful. Tatis Jr. had another overall successful regular season, slashing .276/.340/.492 with 21 HR, 61 runs scored, 49 RBI, and 11 stolen bases in 438 plate appearances. He has only reached 600 plate appearances once in his career, but there is no doubt that Tatis Jr. is one of fantasy's best offensive options on a game-by-game basis.

The San Diego Padres activated outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. (thigh) from the 60-day injured list on Monday, and he's starting in right field and batting second in the series opener at Petco Park against the Detroit Tigers and left-hander Tyler Holton. Tatis has spent the last 72 days on the IL due to a stress reaction in his right femur (thigh bone). The 25-year-old All-Star played with the injury almost the entire first three months of the season and was the team leader with 14 home runs while also ranking 13th in the National League with an .821 OPS at the time he was put on the IL. Tatis had been taking live at-bats at the team's spring training complex in Arizona against minor-leaguers before his activation, but he still could have some rest days in the near future to ease him back in. But when he's in the lineup for the Friars, he's a must-start in fantasy lineups.

San Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. (thigh) continues to rehab in Arizona at the team's spring training complex and is now ready to face live pitching as he continues his progression, according to manager Mike Shildt. Details have been pretty scarce on Tatis since he landed on the injured list back in late June due to a stress reaction in his thigh, but he has begun baseball activities and could be cleared to go on a minor-league rehab assignment soon once he starts facing live pitching. Barring a setback, the 25-year-old superstar should be able to return to right field in San Diego at some point in September, but he's quickly running out of time to make an impact for his fantasy managers. Tatis is a must-start in all fantasy lineups when he's active, even though he might have to shake off some rust when he returns. He was hitting .279 (86-for-308) with 14 homers, 36 RBI and eight steals at the time of his injury.
