SAN DIEGO -- Fernando Tatis Jr. has yet to formally address his San Diego Padres teammates in the wake of his stunning suspension, but Jurickson Profar, one of his closest friends on the team, said he has been speaking with him "every day."
"He's devastated," Profar said Thursday when asked about Tatis' state of mind. "He feels really bad."
Six days earlier, while the Padres were in Washington, D.C., Major League Baseball announced that Tatis had tested positive for the anabolic steroid Clostebol. MLB suspended him for 80 games, ending a season that never began.
