Tatis says shoulder, wrist ‘100%’ in first game since ’21

Fernando Tatis Jr. on Tuesday played his first game for the San Diego Padres in nearly 17 months. Tatis went 0-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base and scored a run in a 7-5 victory over the San Francisco Giants. He was the designated hitter in his first game since the 2021 regular-season finale. “I saw that it was 500 or something days since I was out there,” Tatis said. “Since the beginning of spring I thought about this.” Tatis missed all of last season.

Mets, batting champ Jeff McNeil reach $50M extension

National League batting champion Jeff McNeil and the New York Mets agreed Friday to a four-year, $50 million contract extension, sources familiar with the deal told ESPN, ensuring one of the team’s core players will stay in Queens as the Mets look to win their first World Series since 1986. McNeil, who turns 31 a week after Opening Day, was arranged to go to an arbitration trial with the Mets, where he was requesting $7.75 million and they offered $6.25 million.

The San Diego Padres and right-hander Seth Lugo are concluding a two-year contract, a source confirmed to ESPN’s Jeff Passan on Monday.
