There is no disputing the importance of Fernando Tatis Jr.’s offensive contributions to the San Diego Padres. Now, his defensive versatility adds another dimension to the Padres lineup. After spending the last few weeks in the outfield, the Friars are moving Tatis Jr. back to shortstop for a critical matchup against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday night.

Tatis Jr. is batting cleanup against Walker Buehler but has raked at Dodger Stadium this season. The reigning Silver Slugger is batting .455 at Chavez Ravine this season with a 1.636 on-base plus slugging percentage. The five home runs he has there are the most he has at any road stadium this season.
