"We felt like Tatis was the best option at second base, and the most fun and exciting option at second base, as the Padres look for ways to juggle their lineup, find at-bats for everyone, and keep their players fresh."
"Stammen also suggested that the position change might get Tatis rolling after a slow start at the plate, and Tatis' three-hit night indicates that the tactic may have worked."
Fernando Tatis Jr. had a standout performance, going 3-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in the Padres' 9-5 victory against the Rockies. This game marked Tatis' first start at second base, a position change made due to shortstop Xander Bogaerts' day off. Manager Craig Stammen expressed confidence in Tatis as an exciting option at second base. The move may also help Tatis regain momentum after a slow start at the plate, as indicated by his three-hit performance.
