News comes as team prepares for first full spring training workout in Arizona
Fernando Tatis Jr., the team’s $340 million shortstop who led the National League with 42 home runs last season, has a fractured left wrist and probably will need surgery, President of Baseball Operations A.J. Preller said Monday as the team prepared for its first workout here.
“It caught all of us off guard,” Tatis said. “I was working out. I was doing my activities. It was getting worse over time while I was getting heavier in my workouts. It was a really big surprise. ... It’s bad. It’s terrible. I feel like everybody is disappointed, especially me. We have a pretty good chance this year as a team. I just want to be out there for my teammates and for the fans.”in early December, said he began feeling pain in the wrist shortly thereafter.
Because of the lockout, only team doctors could communicate with players from December 2 through the labor impasses ending this past Thursday. No other personnel was allowed to speak to players or their representatives in that time, and the team could not bring Tatis in for an examination after the accident.“It was a different offseason,” Preller said."...
It is standard for contracts to have clauses in them prohibiting extracurricular pursuits that have a higher probability of resulting in injury. Those clauses generally allow for a team to recoup all or a portion of the money owed to a player. One team source said it is unlikely the Padres would pursue that route.“I had a couple incidents,” he said. “It could be anything. I had one more fall, but it was nothing crazy. It was just small pain. It goes away when you do normal activities.
