The San Diego Padres infield has taken two huge hits with rookie phenom Fernando Tatis Jr. and veteran Ian Kinsler landing on the 10-day injured list.
The team announced Friday that Tatis has a stress reaction in his lower back, and Kinsler is dealing with a herniated cervical disc. Infielder Ty France and outfielder Travis Jankowski were recalled from Triple-A.
Tatis was placed on the IL in April with a hamstring strain, which he suffered while attempting to stretch for a play at second base. It cost him more than a month, and now another injury could raise question marks about his durability as he continues his rookie season.
