Fantasy Impact:

This is another great step forward for Tatis, who had done some less demanding on-field work with the team last weekend in New York. The superstar is now on track to possibly participate in live at-bats in the next week or so which would then lead to a rehab assignment. So it looks like the 23-year-old is on track to return to the big league club sometime in August to lead a postseason push and provide some fantasy value to owners that have been patient with him all season.
