San Diego Padres right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. is day-to-day with a twisted left ankle suffered during the second game of Saturday’s doubleheader against the host Philadelphia Phillies.
Tatis hurt the leg while playing defense in the early innings of the game. In the sixth inning, he was heavily favoring the leg as he jogged to first base after hitting a pop-up. Brandon Dixon replaced Tatis in right field in the bottom of the sixth.
Padres manager Bob Melvin said the swelling was too much, so Tatis was removed from the game.
Tatis was 0-for-3 with an RBI before exiting Game 2. He went 1-for-4 in the opener.
Tatis is batting .283 with 17 homers and 47 RBIs in 73 games.
