Tuesday BP: Padres and Dodgers suffer setbacks

Good morning, baseball fans.

The San Francisco Giants main division rivals in the National League West at the moment are the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres, and each team has suffered a significant loss this week.

First up, Padres star Fernando Tatis, Jr. tested positive for a performance enhancing substance and it was announced over the weekend that he would receive an 80-game suspension. The excuses ranged from the weird (a ringworm medication) to the absurd (fungus from a haircut) and it was clear that the organization was beyond disappointed.
