One day after players checked in for spring training, Padres general manager A.J. Preller told reporters that star shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. suffered a fractured wrist in the offseason.The 23-year-old is likely heading for surgery and could be out up to three months, according to Preller.The ProBaseballDocs believe that is a best-case scenario timeline and his recovery could easily stretch to four-to-six months.Preller told reporters the injury was to the scaphoid bone and team doctors believe it happened early in the offseason.Tatis was involved in a minor motorcycle accident on Dec. 8, 2021 and reportedly suffered minor scrapes. He was seen with a wrap on his left wrist on Jan. 4.The Padres and Tatis have not confirmed if the injury happened during the motorcycle crash, but the signs all point to that. The scaphoid bone is notoriously tough to heal because of lack of blood flow and is tough to see upon initial X-ray, according to the ProBaseballDocs.Because of how long Tatis has been bothered by the injury, he is likely dealing with a non-union fracture and will likely require a bone graft to promote healing.Tatis is known as a quick-healer, but the left wrist is heavily involved in any swing. If he could make it back by mid-to-late June it would be great news.The injury clearly knocks him out of the MVP race and leaves the Padres with few everyday options at shortstop. Ha-Seong Kim is likely slated to start at shortstop barring any moves in free agency.Tatis reportedly felt wrist soreness while ramping up for spring training and the injury was discovered during his entry physical. The injury was likely complicated by the MLB lockout.During the lockout, which lasted from Dec. 2, 2021 to March 10, teams were not allowed to contact players about anything, including injuries.Even so, it's possible the issue wouldn't have been discovered until Tatis reported for spring training, which would have been around mid-February during a normal season.Tatis' left shoulder was also a concern heading into this year. He missed 30 games last year and his shoulder subluxed five different times, including three times during the regular season.Despite all of those incidents, Tatis reportedly did not get shoulder surgery to address the labrum issue in the offseason. He instead chose to strengthen the muscles around the labrum to prevent the injury from reoccurring, but the ProBaseballDocs believe that is an effective strategy. Before the wrist injury, the ProBaseballDocs projected Tatis would miss at least 25 games this season with the nagging left shoulder injury.That shoulder will still be a problem when he returns from the wrist injury and is at higher risk to sublux again until he gets surgery to fix the labrum.
