San Diego Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr. Was labelled a ‘cheater’ by a San Francisco Giants minor league pitcher after he hit a huge home run on Wednesday.
Tatis is on a rehab assignment with the minor league El Paso Chihuahuas as he prepares to return from an 80-game suspension from PED use. The 24-year-old took on Giants prospect Kade McClure during the game earlier this week, and struck a fine homer deep to left field at Sutter Health Park.
An NBC San Diego reporter posted a video of the bomb to Twitter, and McClure - representing the Sacramento River Cats - quote-tweeted the original post and let his feelings about Tatis known. McClure wrote: “Cheater hits a homerun on a rehab assignment during a steroid suspension.”
