Padres' Fernando Tatis: Activated from 60-day IL
Rotowire
The Padres activated Tatis (thigh) from the 60-day injured list Monday.
Tatis has been sidelined since late June with a stress reaction in his right femur. He had been working out at the team's spring training complex in Arizona the last several days and came out of it well enough that he'll skip a rehab assignment and go right back into the Padres' lineup. Tatis is starting in right field and batting second Monday versus the Tigers in his return to action.

Padres' Fernando Tatis: Returning from injured list Monday
Rotowire
Tatis (thigh) will be activated from the 60-day injured list and return to the Padres' lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers, Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Tatis last played for the Padres on June 21 before being shelved with a stress reaction in his right femur. He began taking live at-bats at the team's spring training complex in Arizona last week and looked and felt good enough to clear the way for his return this week. Since he hasn't played in more than two months and is skipping a rehab assignment, rust could certainly be a factor for Tatis, but his upside could make that a moot point for fantasy managers.

Padres' Fernando Tatis: May not need rehab assignment
Rotowire
Padres manager Mike Shildt said Saturday that Tatis (thigh) might be activated from the injured list without going on a minor-league rehab assignment, per MLB.com.
Tatis recently began taking at-bats against live pitching at San Diego's spring-training complex in Arizona, and before that he had resumed running sprints on the field. While Tatis has been sidelined from game action for over two months, San Diego may be willing to allow him to bypass a rehab stint, which would hasten his return to the big club. The star outfielder slashed .279/.354/.468 with 14 home runs, 36 RBI and eight steals over 80 games prior to getting hurt.

Padres' Fernando Tatis: Expected to face live pitching soon
Rotowire
Padres manager Mike Shildt told 97.3 The Fan on Monday that Tatis (thigh) is at the Padres' training complex in Arizona and is ready to take live at-bats.
Tatis has been on the injured list since late June but recently began ramping up his activity, including running at about 70 percent on the field last week. Facing live pitching will be another step in his progression toward a minor-league rehab assignment, which could be around the corner. If Tatis continues to move forward without any setbacks, a return to the Padres in the first half of September isn't out of the question.

Padres' Fernando Tatis: Runs on field Thursday
Rotowire
Tatis (thigh) ran sprints on the field ahead of Thursday's game against the Mets, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
Tatis said afterward that he was only running at about 70 percent, but it's still a significant milestone, as it's the first time he's done any sort of running since landing on the IL with a strained thigh in June. The 25-year-old still needs time to ramp up the intensity before heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment, but he remains on track to return to the Padres at some point in September.

Padres' Fernando Tatis: Moved to 60-day IL
Rotowire
The Padres transferred Tatis (thigh) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday.
Tatis has already missed more than 60 days with a right femoral stress reaction, so the transaction won't affect his timeline for a return. While Tatis has been participating in some baseball activities as he works his way back from injury, it's not clear when he might be ready to begin a minor-league rehab assignment. His move to the 60-day IL opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for infielder Mason McCoy, who was called up from Triple-A El Paso.

Padres' Fernando Tatis: Timeline unclear despite progress
Rotowire
Tatis (thigh) has been participating in some baseball activities, including long toss, as he continues his rehab, but he remains without a definitive timetable for a return, per MLB.com.
Tatis is approaching the two-month mark in his absence due to a right femoral stress reaction, though he's yet to be moved to the 60-day IL. Padres manager Mike Shildt indicated Friday that Tatis is slated to undergo an MRI soon, presumably to assess his progress in the healing of the stress reaction. Shildt also indicated optimism about the outfielder's recovery and outlook, saying, "He's definitely getting there. Just still wanting some healing to take place before he ramps up. And once he ramps up, he'll be getting ready pretty quickly, I would imagine." While it appears that Tatis remains on track to return this season, he may not rejoin the Padres until sometime in September.
