Fernando Tatis Jr., the San Diego Padres outfielder, is currently battling an unknown illness. He has been out of the lineup for a few days due to sickness and is being tested for influenza, COVID-19, and other illnesses. The Padres hope to have him back later this week once he recovers and the test results are in. He missed games recently and exited a game with a left forearm contusion, but initial x-rays were negative. His absence has been a significant miss for the Padres as he is a key player for their playoff push.
