Fernando Tatis Jr. said he expects to face plenty of vitriol from opposing players and fans in 2023 because of his positive test last year for a performance-enhancing substance. The San Diego Padres star got an early taste on Wednesday night.
Tatis belted a solo home run Wednesday during his second minor-league rehab game with Triple-A El Paso, where he will play for the next two weeks as he completes his 80-game suspension.
After being booed while rounding the bases by the home fans at Triple-A Sacramento, Tatis also caught flak on social media from Kade McClure, the pitcher who allowed the homer.
