San Diego Padres superstar Fernando Tatis Jr. is excelling at the plate with a .359 batting average in June, but manager Craig Stammen is hesitant to assign him to a fixed position to maintain lineup versatility. The team struggles with injuries, notably the loss of Jake Cronenworth to a concussion and Ramon Laureano to a hip surgery, prompting the need for additional offensive support. The Padres may need to clarify Tatis Jr.’s position to facilitate potential trades for more hitters to boost run production. Time is of the essence to avoid losing top trade targets.
