Padres manager Mike Shildt told 97.3 The Fan on Monday that Tatis (thigh) is at the Padres' training complex in Arizona and is ready to take live at-bats.
EDGE Analysis
Tatis has been on the injured list since late June but recently began ramping up his activity, including running at about 70 percent on the field last week. Facing live pitching will be another step in his progression toward a minor-league rehab assignment, which could be around the corner. If Tatis continues to move forward without any setbacks, a return to the Padres in the first half of September isn't out of the question.

Tatis (thigh) ran sprints on the field ahead of Thursday's game against the Mets, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tatis said afterward that he was only running at about 70 percent, but it's still a significant milestone, as it's the first time he's done any sort of running since landing on the IL with a strained thigh in June. The 25-year-old still needs time to ramp up the intensity before heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment, but he remains on track to return to the Padres at some point in September.

The Padres transferred Tatis (thigh) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Tatis has already missed more than 60 days with a right femoral stress reaction, so the transaction won't affect his timeline for a return. While Tatis has been participating in some baseball activities as he works his way back from injury, it's not clear when he might be ready to begin a minor-league rehab assignment. His move to the 60-day IL opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for infielder Mason McCoy, who was called up from Triple-A El Paso.

Tatis (thigh) has been participating in some baseball activities, including long toss, as he continues his rehab, but he remains without a definitive timetable for a return, per MLB.com.
EDGE Analysis
Tatis is approaching the two-month mark in his absence due to a right femoral stress reaction, though he's yet to be moved to the 60-day IL. Padres manager Mike Shildt indicated Friday that Tatis is slated to undergo an MRI soon, presumably to assess his progress in the healing of the stress reaction. Shildt also indicated optimism about the outfielder's recovery and outlook, saying, "He's definitely getting there. Just still wanting some healing to take place before he ramps up. And once he ramps up, he'll be getting ready pretty quickly, I would imagine." While it appears that Tatis remains on track to return this season, he may not rejoin the Padres until sometime in September.

Padres general manager A.J. Preller suggested Tuesday that Tatis (thigh) remains without a clear timeline for a return from the 10-day injured list, though the 25-year-old is expected to play again this season, MLB.com reports. "We expect him to be back. Exactly when? That's something we've still got to get more information from our doctors," Preller said. "But every report I've gotten has been really positive."
EDGE Analysis
Tatis was placed on the 10-day IL on June 24 with a right femoral stress reaction. He underwent an MRI over the All-Star break and was cleared for light baseball activities after imaging revealed sufficient healing, but updates on Tatis' status have been scarce since then. The star outfielder still looks to be at least a couple weeks away from being ready to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment. Expect the Padres to continue to get by with a platoon of David Peralta and Bryce Johnson in right field in the meantime.

An MRI this week on Tatis' injured right quadricep showed improved healing, and the outfielder is expected to incrementally increase his baseball activities, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tatis -- who is recovering from a femoral stress reaction -- has already begun playing catch and swinging a bat. A clearer timetable for Tatis' return from the 10-day injured list is unlikely to be available until he resumes running with no issues, but he certainly looks to be trending in a good direction.

Padres manager Mike Shildt said Friday that Tatis (quadriceps) isn't likely to be able to play in the All-Star Game, Bernie Wilson of the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tatis was voted into the Midsummer Classic as a starter in the outfield alongside teammate Jurickson Profar, but it appears the former will need to sit out the contest. This isn't a surprising development, as Tatis had previously indicated that he could remain on the injured list until after the All-Star break. Tatis' election to the All-Star Game came as a result of a strong first half of the campaign during which he's slashed .279/.354/.468 with 14 homers, 36 RBI, 50 runs and eight stolen bases over 80 contests.

The Padres placed Tatis on the 10-day injured list Monday, retroactive to June 22, due to a right femoral stress reaction in his quadriceps.
EDGE Analysis
Tatis missed the last two games with a triceps injury after being hit in the left arm by a pitch Friday, and he will now be sidelined with a separate quadriceps injury. His stint on the IL would line up with a return in early July, but it's possible the 25-year-old will be held out longer than that until perhaps after the All-Star break, per Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune. Tatis is slashing .279/.354/.468 with 14 home runs and 36 RBI over 345 plate appearances and an .822 OPS.

Tatis (triceps) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Tatis exited Friday's 9-5 win after getting hit in the left arm by a pitch, and he'll now miss his second consecutive start as a result. David Peralta will once again start in right field while Donovan Solano serves as San Diego's designated hitter. According to MLB.com, Padres manager Mike Shildt said Tatis would have been available to pinch hit in Saturday's 6-2 loss if an opportunity presented itself, so the 25-year-old would appear to be day-to-day and could be ready to return to the lineup during the Padres' upcoming three-game series with the Nationals that begins Monday.

Tatis (triceps) is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Tatis was hit by a pitch during Friday's game and was lifted from the contest. He'll remain on the bench to begin Saturday's game and is dealing with a bruised triceps. David Peralta will bat sixth and play right field.
