Tatis Jr. struggled to get going, but recovered a better version of himself.

San Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. experienced a delayed start to his performance during the current baseball season. While the Padres officially began their season on March 27 in San Diego with a loss to the Detroit Tigers and pitcher Tarik Skubal, Tatis Jr.'s individual offensive production did not begin to gain momentum until May 30 during a game against the Washington Nationals.
