Tatis went 3-for-5 with a run scored Monday in the Padres' 8-3 win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Tatis has now turned in three multi-hit efforts in a row and four within the last five games, extending his hit streak to nine games along the way. Though Tatis' .811 OPS is still well below his career mark (.959), fantasy managers have to be pleased with how he's performed thus far when considering he hadn't played in the majors since October 2021 before he was reinstated from his suspension April 20.

Tatis went 2-for-6 with one double, one homer, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's win over San Francisco.
EDGE Analysis
Tatis smacked a fifth-inning homer to put the Padres up 9-8. After going 0-for-5 in his season debut, Tatis has a hit in every game he has played. However his slash line is .243/.282/.432 as he has just two walks and three extra-base hits in 37 at bats.

Tatis went 2-for-5 with three RBI in Wednesday's 5-3 win against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Tatis came up big late in the contest for San Diego, plating two runs with a single in the seventh and another run with a single in the ninth. The pair of knocks extended his hitting streak to five games, though he's tallied just one extra-base hit (a homer) over that span. Tatis has also yet to steal a base this season after racking up 52 thefts over 273 regular-season games across his first three big-league campaigns.

Tatis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored Saturday in a 5-3 win against Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Tatis opened the scoring in the contest with a solo shot to left field in the first inning. It was his first long ball and just his second hit in three games since returning from his PED suspension Thursday. Despite the homer, Tatis appears to still be struggling to find his footing, as he's hitting just .154 with four strikeouts over 13 at-bats.

Tatis went 1-for-4 with a strikeout in Friday's loss to Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Tatis went 0-for-5 with a pair of strikeouts in his season debut Thursday before notching his first hit of the campaign -- a single to center in the sixth inning -- Friday. The star shortstop-turned-outfielder destroyed minor-league pitching to the tune of a .515/.590/1.212 slash line and seven homers in eight games leading up to his activation from an 80-game PED suspension, but he's finding the going tougher as he faces big-league pitching for the first time since 2021. Of course, there's little value in trying to draw conclusions from a two-game sample, so fantasy managers who have stashed Tatis to this point in the season have no reason to panic.

Tatis has been activated from his PED suspension and is batting leadoff Thursday night against the Diamondbacks, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tatis will start in right field and lead things off for the Padres in his first major-league game since October 2021. He went ballistic during his eight-game tuneup with Triple-A El Paso, batting .515 with a 1.802 OPS, seven home runs, 15 RBI, two stolen bases and 11 runs scored across 39 plate appearances. Recovered from wrist and shoulder surgeries and having served out an 80-game suspension for performance-enhancing drugs, the 24-year-old can now finally reclaim his place as one of the most productive position players in the sport.

Tatis (suspension) returned to San Diego on Monday and will work out at Petco Park the next three days before being reinstated to the active roster ahead of Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tatis is eligible to continue playing in minor-league games until his 80-game suspension concludes following the Padres' series finale Wednesday versus Atlanta, but the organization has seen enough from the talented 23-year-old during his rehab assignment at Triple-A El Paso to feel confident in his readiness for MLB action. During his 12-day stint in El Paso, Tatis was no match for Pacific Coast League pitchers, as he raked to the tune of a .515/.590/1.212 slash line with seven home runs, two stolen bases and a 6:3 BB:K over 39 plate appearances. Padres manager Bob Melvin said earlier in April that he anticipates having Tatis bat out of the leadoff spot once he's reinstated from suspension.

Tatis (suspension) went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a minor-league contest with Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
To say that Tatis is feasting on minor-league pitching would be an understatement. The 24-year-old is slashing .515/.590/1.802 with seven homers, 15 RBI and two thefts eight games into his stint with El Paso, and he's been absurd over his past three contests, going 11-for-16 with six long balls and 12 runs batted in. Fantasy managers who drafted Tatis should be salivating at the thought of the slugger returning from his suspension, which he's eligible to do this coming Thursday.

Tatis (suspension) went 5-for-6 with three home runs, a double and eight RBI on Thursday with Triple-A El Paso.
EDGE Analysis
Tatis is a week away from returning to the Padres, and his performance Thursday certainly suggests he's ready to be back in the big leagues. He went yard in the second, sixth and eighth innings, pulling the ball over the fence in left field on each occasion. Prior to Thursday's game, Tatis was hitting .478 with four homers and two stolen bases across 23 at-bats.

Tatis (suspension) went 1-for-2 with a solo homer, two walks and two runs scored Wednesday with Triple-A El Paso.
EDGE Analysis
That solo shot sailed 406 feet. Tatis is now 2-for-4 with four walks, one home run, two RBI, one stolen base and three runs scored through two games played at the Triple-A level. It sure looks like the 24-year-old superstar is going to be clicking on all cylinders for the Padres -- and for fantasy managers -- when he returns April 20 from his PED suspension.
