After missing the entire 2022 season due to injuries and a suspension for testing positive for a banned substance, Fernando Tatis Jr. will be ready to go for the start of spring training.
Per The Athletic's Dennis Lin, Tatis has been cleared to resume baseball activities after undergoing multiple surgeries in September and October.
Tatis' 80-game suspension, which began on Aug. 12, will carry over to the first 20 games of the 2023 season. He is tentatively eligible to return on April 20 against the Arizona Diamondbacks, pending no postponements.
The suspension means Tatis won't be allowed around the team once the regular season starts, but he is eligible to take part in activities during spring training.
