Padres put Strahm on IL, recall Diaz, hope Tatis is back Thursday

The Padres lost a pitcher for what is expected to be one start.

They let go of a hometown outfielder.

But there seems to be good news on the horizon.

The plan is for shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. to rejoin the team Thursday as long as he checks the final boxes Wen morning.

Tatis played the past two games on a rehab assignment with Double-A Amarillo, where he went 2-for-5 with three walks and a stolen base.

The Padres want to make sure he reports feeling fine after playing nine and six innings on back-to-back days and that he is confident about his timing at the plate.
