March 28 - If Opening Day is any indication, expect San Diego Padres right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. to do a lot more stealing in 2025.
Tatis went 3-for-4 and swiped two bases Thursday in San Diego's come-from-behind 7-4 win over the visiting Atlanta Braves. He took advantage of the slow delivery of Chris Sale to pilfer third base on both occasions.
The series continues on Friday night.
Last season, Tatis hit .276 with 21 homers and 49 RBIs but stole only 11 bases in 102 games. Missing 60 games from late June to early September with a stress reaction in his right leg put a crimp in his totals and his ability to run.
