Fernando Tatis Jr. said he has felt pain in leg almost since start of the season; Jurickson Profar is the Padres’ most clutch performer; team keeps accomplishing rare feats
The Padres’ Jurickson Profar gets soaked after hitting a walk-off single in the 10th inning of Monday’s game against the Nationals.Shortly after the celebration ended and he had dressed and was ready to leave, Fernando Tatis Jr. stood in front of his locker and smiled wanly.
“It’s going to be some time,” Tatis said. “We’re trying to aim after the All-Star Game . But we’re talking about something serious in my bone in my right leg.”) in our game preview from yesterday afternoon about Tatis being placed on the injured list with a stress reaction in his right femur and the laundry list of other roster moves, including Adam Mazur being recalled to start in place of Yu Darvish tonight.
The injury had previously been described as having bothered Tatis for several weeks. Tatis defined “several” more precisely last night. And one of the most impressive things about Profar is that he has been unafraid to say that teammates need to step up. And he continues to back up his words. So he signed a minor-league deal with them in April that would guarantee him the prorated portion of $1 million if he was called up to the big leagues.Solano was called up May 5 and started seven of the first 20 games with the team. He has started 21 of the past 27.
Solano has known hitting coach Victor Rodriguez for several years and they live near each other in Florida. One day during spring training, Rodriguez got a call from Solano. But when he answered, he found out Solano had dialed him by accident, thinking he was calling his gardener, who is also named Victor.The Padres were already taking with Solano’s agent, trying to get the price to line up. But Rodriguez became a big booster internally.
