Padres put Fernando Tatis Jr. on IL with stress reaction in thigh bone

SAN DIEGO -- San Diego Padres star right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. says he might not return from a stress reaction in his right thigh bone until after the All-Star Game.

Tatis was placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday after dealing with the injury for essentially the whole season.

"It's a huge gap," Tatis said when asked about the timetable for his return. "I don't want to put it out there because people are going to expect stuff. But it's going to be some time. We know with the right stuff we're trying to aim after the All-Star Game, but we're talking about something serious in my bone, in my right leg.
