The Padres see a glimpse of the Adrian Morejón they believed.
Unfortunately for them, which overshadowed anything else that could happen at Petco Park on Monday night, is that they have Fernando Tatis Jr. see see have gone.
Tatis left the game against the San Francisco Giants in the third inning with a partially dislocated left shoulder.
The Giants managed three solo runs to beat the Padres 3-2. It was not even close to the most painful loss of the night.
Dr. David Chao, an orthopedic surgeon who correctly identified the injury hours before the Padres announced a shoulder subluxation, said Tatis would likely need arthroscopic surgery for a labral tear. Chao, who has served as the Chargers team doctor for nearly twenty years, said it is possible that Tatis could continue to play and postpone surgery if the tear does not worsen on Monday. Surgery would end its season because it usually needs six months of recovery.
After a violent swing at a time, Tatis immediately curled up on the ground in front of the plate and stayed there for a full minute, bending on his knees with his head to the dirt while pulling in pain.
The budding superstar, who signed a $ 340 million 14-year contract before spring training, was finally helped to his feet and walked off the field with driver Jayce Tingler and an athletic trainer holding his left arm has.
“At the moment he feels better, obviously he was in a lot of pain to get out of the game,” Tingler said after the game. “I do not have much information, except that they will do more tests and evaluation tomorrow, and we will see where it comes from.”
Tatis is expected to get an MRI on Tuesday.
Tatis has been handling the beam-like shoulder since he was in the minor leagues and has been sidelined twice this spring for a period after injuring his shoulder. Sources described what happens when the shoulder protrudes and then back in when Tatis makes certain movements. Chao said the recurrence of the injury in such a short period of time suggests it becomes easier to disrupt and points to ongoing issues, even if Tatis continues to play.
“This is not something I think people should worry about or worry about,” Tatis said a day before the season opened. “I feel in a wonderful place and I feel 100 percent.”
Tatis was 0-for-2 on Monday and is 3-for-18 this season. He entered the season with a batting average of .301 and .956 OPS and reached the 40th home race of his career on Sunday.
“Maybe it bothered him more than we realized,” Tingler said Monday night.
The rookie Ha-seong Kim replaced Tatis on short stop.
If Tatis had not undergone, the Padres could have enjoyed a little more of Morejón’s performance.
It was only the fact that his place in the series came up with the draw on the second base in the fourth innings that prevented Morejón from increasing his career heights in innings and lanes.
The 22-year-old, who has never gone more than three overs or thrown more than 46 spots in a major league game, allowed himself to pass Darin Ruf in the second innings and Evan Longoria in the fourth innings.
Morejón, who was signed at 17 from Cuba for a team record bonus of $ 11 million, was lifted for a pinch with two on and two from the bottom in the fourth. He threw 64 pitches, 18 more than he had thrown in one of his previous 14 professional matches.
He hit 99 mph in the first shift and reached another 97 mph in the fourth shift, and he also came out with four other stands.
Before the left-hander started his first right, having previously struck out of the bullpen and as a starting batsman, Tingler said: ‘Adrian has the potential to not just be a good starter; We are a way away from that. ”
Tucupita Marcano, who hit Morejon with runners-up in first and second place, grounded the first field he saw to first base to end the innings.
The Padres tied the game 1-1 in the first half of the second half when Jurickson Profar reached a fielder’s choice, stole the second base and passed on Victor Caratini’s single. Profar and Caratini teamed up for another run to level the game at 2-2 in the sixth innings, this time with a triple by Profar and sacrificial fly by Caratini.
Nabil Crismatt scored a pointless score and Craig Stammen did the same in sixth place.
Tribes beat Brandon Crawford out of the seventh cage for the first time before it was Mike Yastrzemski’s turn. He was scratched from the starting lineup with pain in his left hand, which seemed like a breather for the Padres because he had a 1,229 OPS career against the Padres.
Yastrzemski hit a sinker 2-0 in midfield over the wall for his fifth home game in 69 posters against the Padres.
