Tatis (wrist) relayed Wednesday that he's been swinging a bat at about 40 percent intensity in recent days, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports. "We're just trying to take stock of where he's at. We're not pushing anything," manager Bob Melvin said, regarding Tatis' recovery from left wrist surgery. "But we're in a period here where something could change from day-to-day or week-to-week."
EDGE Analysis
According to AJ Cassavell of MLB.com, Tatis has been swinging a bat at varying intensities for about a month or two, but the Padres have yet to clear him to swing fully. Tatis noted that while he's feeling better with each passing day, he remains without a precise timeline to swing fully, much less head out on a minor-league rehab assignment. The 23-year-old will need to show significant progress within the next week to have a realistic shot at making it back from the 60-day injured list before the All-Star break.

Tatis' CT scan on his wrist Monday didn't reveal the desired level of healing, so his expected return date has been pushed back, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tatis has been limited to running and fielding grounders as he makes his way back from an offseason wrist fracture. He was hoping to be cleared to swing following Monday's test, but that won't be happening just yet. Per Dennis Lin of The Athletic, general manager A.J. Preller nonetheless called the exam positive overall, though it's unclear exactly how that could be the case when the results were the opposite of what the team hoped for. The Padres have yet to decide when Tatis' next scan will be, so he remains without a clear timetable for now.

Tatis underwent a CT scan on his wrist Monday and is awaiting the results, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tatis has been out all year after undergoing surgery on his fractured left wrist. He's hoping the scan will clear him to start swinging. Even if it does, he'll still have a lengthy buildup process to go through before he returns to the active roster.

Tatis (wrist) is expected to undergo a CT scan on his wrist next week rather than this week as previously reported, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old didn't suffer any kind of setback, but the Padres just want to provide some additional time for him to heal before sending him for the imaging. If the CT scan produces encouraging results, Tatis could then be cleared to resume swinging a bat. To this point the shortstop has been limited to running and fielding grounders.

Tatis will undergo a CT scan on his left wrist later this week in hopes of getting cleared to hit, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reports from last week indicated Tatis would receive a scan when the Padres returned home Monday, but the scan evidently isn't scheduled to happen right away. He's been able to field grounders and work on his defense, but he'll presumably need awhile to get his timing back at the plate before he's ready to return to game action.

Tatis' wrist will be scanned again when the Padres return home next Monday, at which point he could be cleared to hit, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tatis hasn't made particularly quick progress in his return from a fractured wrist, though he's at least been able to run and field grounders. His previous scan last Tuesday indicated that he needed more healing before being cleared to swing, but the Padres are optimistic that two extra weeks will be enough time for that to happen.

Tatis (wrist) underwent a bone scan Tuesday which revealed more healing is required before being cleared to swing a bat, Annie Heilbrunn of Bally Sports San Diego reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tatis has been taking part in light field work, but he's not yet able to play catch or swing a bat. The 23-year-old is expected to receive another bone scan "sooner rather than later," but it's clear his return to full baseball activities won't happen in the immediate future.

Tatis (wrist) has begun fieldng slowly rolled grounders, but he has yet to resume swinging a bat, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tatis has been working out at the Padres' complex in Arizona while the team is on the road, and he recently began fielding light grounders that are rolled to him. However, he still has not been cleared to catch a ball from any distance with his glove hand, and it remains unclear when he'll be able to start swinging a bat. The latter is of particular importance, as San Diego has acknowledged that a timetable for Tatis to return won't be available until he clears that hurdle.

Tatis (wrist) has been running and taking grounders, but he has yet to swing a bat or play catch, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tatis' wrist hasn't yet recovered to the point that he's able to play catch, and he recently indicated he's not sure when he'll be able to swing a bat. The star shortstop is over seven weeks removed from left wrist surgery and is eligible to return in early June, but per Acee, the expectation is that he won't be back until the middle or end of that month. Tatis should make an immediate impact when he does return to action.

Tatis (wrist) simulated fielding groundballs and made throws on the infield Monday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though Tatis' workout was far from what he'd do in a game -- per Cassavell, the shortstop simply held the ball in his left hand before making throws rather than actually fielding grounders -- the on-field work nonetheless represents a significant milestone in his recovery from a fractured left wrist. Most of Tatis' activity to this point had been cardio-based, though he has stated that he is ahead of schedule in his rehab. There is still a long way to go for the 23-year-old -- at this point, he isn't able to put on a glove, much less swing a bat -- but fantasy managers who are stashing him on their roster can at least be optimistic that Tatis may be able to return to action when first eligible in early June.
