SAN DIEGO — Fernando Tatis Jr.'s push to return from the long-awaited shoulder surgery and two wrist procedures began roughly a month ago, setting up the 24-year-old to be a full participant not only for the start of spring training but when he's able to return from his PED suspension on April 20.
He's already a full-go in batting practice, tracking balls in the outfield and taking grounders in the infield.
As for what position he'll play, Tatis smiled as he spoke with reporters en masse for the first time since August. He'd been anticipating the question. He had the perfect answer.
