COMMENTS

PADDRESS: Manager Bob Melvin reached out to suspended All-Star shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. in a phone call and said the player “repents”.

Melvin didn’t reveal anything further about what he called a “private conversation” with Tatis, the dynamic fan favorite whose 80-game ban for testing positive for a performance-enhancing anabolic steroid, Clostebol, was announced by Major League Baseball shortly before its start. San Diego’s 10-5 win over the Washington Nationals on Friday.

The freshman Padres skipper said he didn’t feel the need to discuss Tatis’ suspension with other players again before Saturday’s game at Nationals Park.

When asked by a reporter if he would like Tatis to talk to his teammates about what happened, Melvin replied: “I don’t know where or when that could possibly happen, so I’m not sure at this point.”

Some Padres players were critical in their comments after Friday’s game, including pitcher Mike Clevinger, who spoke of being “disappointed” at Tatis and hoping the shortstop realizes that “it’s about more than just him now. “

Tatis, a talented batter and fielder, led the National League with 42 home runs last season, pairing with third baseman Manny Machado to give the Padres a dreaded middle ground. But Tatis hadn’t played at all in 2022 because he broke his left wrist in the off-season – in what was believed to be a motorcycle accident in the Dominican Republic.

Tatis had surgery in mid-March and she was expected to join the Padres soon to help them make a push for a NL wildcard berth. They are currently third in the running for one of those three spots. San Diego started Saturday’s game against Washington with a record of 64-51.
