Overview

• Fernando Tatis Jr. was scratched before the Orioles series opener with a hamstring injury, with Ramon Laureano starting in right field.
• Tatis had exited Sunday’s loss to the Twins with right hamstring tightness and later said he felt fine and expected to play Monday.
• Xander Bogaerts broke a bone in his left foot on August 27 and is likely out for the rest of the regular season, with team optimism for a pre-postseason return.
• Jose Iglesias and Jake Cronenworth are the internal options to cover shortstop, though the club loses Bogaerts’ on-base production.
• The Padres sit at 76-61, two games behind the 78-59 Dodgers, holding the No. 2 NL Wild Card spot with 28 days left in the regular season.
