Fernando Tatis Jr. collects three hits in win

Fernando Tatis Jr.

SD Right Fielder #23

Player Stats

Fernando Tatis Jr. went 3-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored as the Padres defeated the Nationals 9-2 on Wednesday.

Tatis drove in Samad Taylor with a fourth-inning single that put San Diego up 5-2. It was his second three-hit performance of the series against Washington. He has surely rebounded from a miserable start to his 2026 campaign. Tatis has already tied his career high of 32 stolen bases while adding eligibility at fantasy’s weakest position. Wednesday was Tatis’ 43rd start at second base this season. While he secured that eligibility for 2027 long ago, it’ll be fascinating to see if this sticks next year and beyond.

Fernando Tatis Jr. went 1-for-5 with a solo homer against the Rockies on Tuesday.

Tatis got the scoring started right away, taking Kyle Freeland deep for a solo homer to lead off the first inning. His 23rd home run of the season went 455 feet to left field. The 27-year-old slugger is up to 18 second-half home runs after hitting just five entering the All-Star break.

Fernando Tatis Jr. went 3-for-4 with two RBI and a steal as the Padres defeated the Giants 6-4 on Sunday Night Baseball.

Tatis’s singles were hit 105, 111 and 103 mph. The steal was his 35th in 48 tries. He’s already exceeded his previous career high of 32 from last year. He is hitting .395 with four homers and four steals in 11 games this month.

Fernando Tatis Jr. went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and three walks to lead the Padres to a 7-6 win over the Giants on Saturday.

Tatis drew a walk in the first and second innings, then knocked a base hit in the fourth before leading off the sixth with a solo homer off Joel Kuhnel. He was later intentionally walked in the ninth to reach for a fifth time. The 27-year-old star is up to 21 homers, 85 runs scored, 73 RBI, and 34 steals while hitting .286/.356/.457 across 645 plate appearances.

Fernando Tatis Jr. went 3-for-4 with his 32nd stolen base of the season in Monday’s win over the Nationals.

It’s not hyperbolic to suggest that Tatis has been one of the more impactful hitters in the fantasy landscape during the second half, batting .296 (55-for-186) with 15 home runs and nine steals in 47 games since the All-Star break. The dynamic 27-year-old outfielder has already notched his fourth 20-homer, 20-steal campaign in the last five seasons and will establish a new career-high mark in the stolen base department on his next theft.

Fernando Tatis Jr. swatted his 18th and 19th homers of the year Tuesday versus the Reds.

Both were solo shots. The second came off Emilio Pagán in the ninth, but the Padres were down by two at the time and still lost by one. It’s Tatis’s 16th career two-homer game. Three of those have come in the last 15 days, though Tatis had been in a little bit of a slump since the last one; he was 4-for-31 with no RBI and no walks in his previous seven games.

Fernando Tatis Jr. homered twice while going 4-for-5 and stealing a base in an 8-1 rout of the Twins on Sunday.

A monster game for Tatis, who also singled twice and drove in four runs in the blowout victory. After struggling — struggling is an understatement — to get the power going, the 27-year-old now has 17 homers on the season, and nine of those have come in August. The steal was his 29th, and Tatis now has an OPS of .814 on the year. These are all impressive numbers, but more impressive when you remember his scuffles to begin 2026.

Fernando Tatis Jr. picked up three hits in the Padres’ win over the Twins on Friday.

Tatis doubled and singled twice while also driving in a run. He’s forged a .988 OPS in August, but the hits haven’t been falling quite as often as you might expect with a .242 average in that timeframe coming into Friday. That appears to be changing over the last week or so, as Tatis has picked up multiple hits in three of his last five contests.

Fernando Tatis Jr. homered twice and robbed Francisco Lindor of a grand slam Tuesday in the Padres’ 5-2 win over the Mets.

Tatis hit a 452-foot homer off Zac Thornton on the very first pitch of the game, went over the wall in right to take away a slam from Lindor in the second and then added a 379-foot, two-run homer in the fifth. It’s rather absurd now to remember how Tatis went the first 55 games of the year without a homer. He has 15 in 70 games since.

Fernando Tatis Jr. is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Brewers.

It appears to just be a rare day of rest for Tatis. The 27-year-old will sit for the series finale against the Brew Crew, and Austin Hays will handle right field and hit sixth in his absence.

Fernando Tatis Jr. homered, walked and scored twice Tuesday against the Brewers.

The homer was his 164th, overtaking Nate Colbert’s total that long stood as the Padres’ franchise record before Manny Machado broke it two years ago. Machado is now at 217 in his eighth year with the Padres, and with both signed well into the next decade, Tatis seems destined to remain in second place for the next several seasons.

Blake Snell left Wednesday’s start against the Reds with a possible injury.

It’s pretty much the last thing the Dodgers want to see with less than two weeks remaining until the postseason. Snell headed back to the clubhouse after throwing just 19 pitches in a scoreless opening frame. There should be an additional update on his status. Any sort of absence would put his postseason availability in serious jeopardy.

Zebby Matthews received a no-decision on Wednesday against the Yankees, firing six shutout innings while striking out eight and walking two.

Matthews allowed just two hits on the afternoon. He was in line for the win before Yoendrys Gómez blew the save in the ninth, though the Twins went on to win 5-4 in 13 innings. The 26-year-old righty was hit hard last time out against Detroit, but this was his fourth gem over his past six starts. Inconsistency has been one of the themes of his year, but he’ll look to finish strong on the road against the Giants in his next scheduled start.

Carlos Rodón received a no-decision on Wednesday against the Twins, allowing two earned runs on four hits over six innings pitched.

Rodón struck out five and walked three in the 102-pitch outing. His velocity was notably down early on before he seemed to find it in the fourth inning. This was Rodón’s 25th straight start without allowing more than three earned runs, a franchise record. Despite the performance, he was in line for the loss before the game went to extra innings, and the Yankees still lost 5-4 in 13 innings. The left-hander lines up for a big divisional showdown against the Rays next time out.

Yoendrys Gómez allowed two earned runs on three hits and a walk in 2/3 of an inning on Wednesday against the Yankees.

Gómez entered the ninth with a 2-0 lead but allowed a couple of baserunners before Anthony Volpe smacked a game-tying, two-run double. The game then went to extras, and Minnesota won 5-4 in 13 innings. Gómez leads the club with 20 saves this season and has held onto the role despite the team trading for Jeff Hoffman at the deadline. His track record doesn’t guarantee he’ll enter 2027 as the preferred ninth-inning option, however.

Luke Keaschall went 3-for-5 with an RBI, two runs scored, and a stolen base as the Twins defeated the Yankees 5-4 in 13 innings on Wednesday.

Keaschall’s RBI was a game-tying hit in the bottom of the tenth. The stolen base was his 18th of the season, though he has been caught seven times. He’s finishing the year with a very strong second half, which fantasy managers needed after such a slow start. Keaschall entered Wednesday with the 14th-highest wRC+ among qualified hitters since the All-Star break. He has also hit leadoff in every game for the Twins dating back to August 17.

Anthony Volpe went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI, and a steal as the Yankees fell to the Twins 5-4 in 13 innings on Wednesday.

Volpe came up in the top of the ninth with two on, two out, and the Yankees trailing by two. He delivered a two-run double off Minnesota closer Yoendrys Gómez, continuing his hot hitting since being recalled from Triple-A. Volpe has now started six of the team’s past seven games at second base with Jazz Chisholm Jr. on the IL.

Falter has the option to elect free agency, but he figures to stick around as organizational depth for Atlanta heading into the postseason after clearing waivers. The 29-year-old southpaw tossed 3 1/3 scoreless frames during his brief stint with the club.

Orioles selected the contract of INF/OF José Barrero from Triple-A Norfolk.

Barrero returns to the majors with Jackson Holliday (wrist) heading to the injured list.

Holliday is probably done for the rest of the season. The 22-year-old infielder winds up requiring a trip to the injured list after hitting just .202 (25-for-124) with one homer, nine RBI and two steals over his last 30 games.

Diamondbacks activated RHP Ryne Nelson from the 60-day injured list.

Nelson returns to Arizona’s pitching equation after missing nearly three months with an elbow strain. The 28-year-old never worked more than two innings during his minor league rehab assignment which means he’s likely going to pitch in relief for the Diamondbacks as they attempt to secure a playoff spot in the final two weeks of the season.
