Fernando Tatis Jr. wiped out playing soccer before a Padres game and MLB fans weren’t happy

The San Diego Padres signed star shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. to a $340 million contract extension last year, so you’d think that the team would have a talk with him about avoiding risky activities. It sure doesn’t look like it, though.

Tatis started the season on the 60-day IL after sustaining a broken left wrist in a reported motorcycle crash in the Dominican Republic. Tatis had surgery on that wrist and is expected to miss at least three months with his earliest return slated for June.

With all that in mind, the Padres really aren’t going to like how their injured superstar warmed up before Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Braves.
