San Diego Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr. won't need surgery for shoulder injury

San Diego Padres star shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. will be placed on the 10-day injured list but won't need surgery after injuring his shoulder, general manager A.J. Preller said Tuesday.

Tatis suffered the latest injury to his troublesome left shoulder on a hard swing Monday and left San Diego's loss to the San Francisco Giants. The Padres on Monday said Tatis had suffered a shoulder subluxation, which is a partial dislocation of the joint.

Preller said Tuesday further exams showed a slight labrum tear consistent with a subluxation but no inflammation.
