| News | ||
| Gerrit Cole picked up the win in Monday's 3-1 victory over the Blue Jays, allowing one run on three hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out eight. John Aubin Tue, Apr 13th | It was a busy day of hitting, fielding and running for Fernando Tatis Jr. on Saturday. Ari Koslow Sat, Apr 10th | |
| Gerrit Cole earned the win by pitching seven scoreless innings with 13 strikeouts against the Orioles on Tuesday, allowing four hits and no walks. John Aubin Wed, Apr 7th | Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. has some slight labral tearing, which is consistent with a subluxation injury, according to general manager A.J. Preller. Preller adds that the Padres will go the rest-and-rehab route and aim for a return in 10 days before considering surgery but that doctors do not feel Tatis would be put at additional long-term risk by playing again this season. Mike Maher - The Birds Blitz Tue, Apr 6th | |
| Gerrit Cole allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out eight over 5 1/3 innings in Thursday's loss to the Blue Jays. He didn't factor into the decision. John Aubin Thu, Apr 1st | Manager Jayce Tingler declined to comment on Padres star shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr.'s shoulder injury following Monday's game, leaving plenty up in the air. The skipper did, however, say that Tatis would head for an MRI and further evaluation on Tuesday. The injury occurred when the young phenom struck out swinging and fell down in serious pain. Andersen Pickard Tue, Apr 6th | |
| Yankees manager Aaron Boone expects ace right-hander Gerrit Cole to pitch 200 innings despite last year's shortened season. Brendan Tuma - Too Much Tuma Sun, Mar 21st | Fernando Tatis Jr. left Monday's game against the San Francisco Giants with a left shoulder subluxation. Ari Koslow Tue, Apr 6th | |
| Yankees ace Gerrit Cole will toss love batting practice instead of starting Saturday’s Grapefruit League against the Pirates due to inclement weather. Brad Camara Sat, Mar 6th | Fernando Tatis Jr. exited Monday's game against the Giants with an apparent elbow injury. Matt Flipi Mon, Apr 5th | |
| Notes | ||
| Tatis Jr. suffered a a shoulder subluxation which looked incredibly painful and which put him on the IL. He's reportedly feeling better and should return soon, but there are obvious concerns about his ability to stay healthy and avoid surgery this year, considering that he's already been bothered by the shoulder twice. You're happily starting him whenever he's in the lineup, but if you can sell him at anywhere close to his spring value, you should. Dan Harris - FantasyPros | ||
| The Padres are insisting that Fernando Tatis Jr. will only miss the minimum 10 days, but that feels a bit far-fetched. Even if the young star were to return right away, all it would take is one swing for him to re-aggravate the issue. Because of this, fantasy managers should consider trading him for players ranked within the top-40 overall. A swap for Xander Bogaerts or Bo Bichette would be a decent hedge against Tatis' health.
