San Diego Padres DFS Spin
Fernando Tatis Jr. went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer on Tuesday, powering the Padres to a 7-4 victory over the Athletics. Tatis Jr. reached base safely in three of his four plate appearances and also drilled a colossal 440-foot homer to left-center field — his 31st round-tripper of the season — off righty James Kaprielian in the third inning. We’ve run out of superlatives to describe his surreal exploits this season. The 22-year-old five-category fantasy superstar owns a sublime .291/.375/.654 triple-slash line with 79 runs scored, 31 homers, 69 RBI and 23 stolen bases across 357 plate appearances.
