why isn't tatis playing today

Fernando Tatis Jr. is not playing today because he is dealing with an illness that has kept him out of the lineup for several games. He has been battling symptoms like nausea, fever, and chills, and the Padres are being cautious with his health. The illness has sidelined him for at least three straight games, and the team is hopeful he can return soon, possibly after the team's off day. Tests are being conducted to determine the exact nature of the illness, including checks for influenza and COVID-19.
