(AP Photo/Sue Ogrocki)PEORIA, Ariz. – San Diego Padres star shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. left Tuesday's spring training game with left shoulder discomfort after making a backhanded play.
Tatis fielded the ball hit by Cincinnati's Jonathan India, made the throw to first base and then began walking off the field.
The Padres said Tatis will be reevaluated on Wednesday.
Tingler said Tatis has had a minor shoulder issue for years and has received treatment for it, including taping it for games.
He missed time with flu-like symptoms and then jarred himself after diving headfirst into home on a flyball to shallow left field in a game on March 13.
