Fernando Tatis Jr. is a shortstop for the San Diego Padres. Since 2019, the young superstar from the Dominican Republic has won the Silver Slugger Award and was named an MLB All-Star.
Unfortunately, Fernando Tatis Jr. sat out a good chunk of the 2022 season with an injury before he was suspended for 80 games when he tested positive for anabolic steroids. With that in mind, you may be wondering: Is Fernando Tatis Jr. in MLB The Show 23?
Is Fernando Tatis Jr. in MLB the Show 23?
As of April 21, 2023, Fernando Tatis Jr. has been added the lineup in MLB The Show 23. His card is available in Chase Pack 2 and has a 99 overall rating.
The card is part of the Charisma series, which adds past and present legends to MLB The Show 23’s roster. No official reason was given for Fernando Tatis Jr.’s absence until this point, but it was likely because he was serving an 80-game suspension for steroid use.
This tracks, as San Diego Studio removed Fernando Tatis Jr. from the Padres’ roster in MLB The Show 22 after he was suspended. Once the suspension was implemented in-game, the only way to use him was to use the Padres’ default roster or via the Rosters Vault.
Now that his suspension is over, however, Fernando Tatis Jr. is back in MLB The Show 23 and will likely stay in the game unless he’s suspended again. For more, check out our other MLB the Show 23 guides.
