Tatis Debuts at 2B as Padres Shuffle Lineup in NL West Update

Fernando Tatis Jr. started at second base for the Padres in a 9-5 win over the Rockies, his second career 2B game and first start there as San Diego rotates players with Bogaerts resting; he went 3-for-4 with a walk and RBI, and the move aims to keep him fresh while his primary position remains right field. Luis Arraez’s right wrist injury produced negative X-rays and he’s day-to-day after being kicked by a Beavers baserunner, with the Giants noting his .304/.339/.393 line through 63 plate appearances. Sam Hentges joined the Giants on a one-year deal and began a rehab assignment after a long layoff due to injuries; Blake Snell threw a 15-pitch simulated inning as he builds back toward a season debut, with a four-inning target before a rehab stint. Tommy Edman participated in the session as he recovers from ankle surgery and isn’t expected back until late May, with Dodgers possibly moving him to the 60-day IL to free 40-man space.
