SAN DIEGO – Fernando Tatis Jr., Padres all-star field, was injured and immediately left Monday’s 3-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants.
Tatis reluctantly made way for Anthony DeSclafani on the pitch. He raised his left arm as he stood up and two sports coaches helped keep his left arm against his body as he left the field.
The Fathers later said Tatis came out due to a subluxation of his left shoulder, which is a partial dislocation of a joint. They will re-evaluate it on Tuesday.
Tatis, 22, left a game in the afternoon of spring training with discomfort in his left shoulder, but returned two days later. Manager Jayce Tingler said then that Tatis had been dealing with discomfort in his left shoulder since his minor league days. Tatis later said he had had it from the rookie ball.
Tatis made five mistakes during the first four games.
On Feb. 22, he signed the longest contract in major league history, a 14-year, $ 340 million deal.
