Padres’ Tatis out for season

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. was placed on the 10-day injured list with a back injury that “most likely” will end his season, according to manager Andy Green.

Tatis, 20, a rookie-of-the-year candidate, is batting .317 with 13 doubles, 22 homers and 53 RBIs in 84 games. Green said the injury was the result of “common usage” and that it would require rest to heal.

“It’s disappointing, obviously,” Green said. “We’re going to do what we can to take care of him, and we expect him to be a huge part of what we’re doing going forward. It’s been really tough for him the last couple of days to swallow. It’s a tough blow.”

Green said Tatis will be reevaluated in three weeks.

The Padres also placed second baseman Ian Kinsler on the 10-day IL with a neck injury that also will end his season.

Green said Kinsler has a herniated disc and was weighing whether to have surgery.

A federal appeals court has expanded a lawsuit by minor league baseball players alleging they are being paid less than minimum wage. Players sued major league teams in February 2014, claiming most earn less than $7,500 annually in violation of several laws. Magistrate Judge Joseph C. Spero granted class-action status to a California class of players in March 2017, but denied the status to Arizona and Florida classes. In a 2-1 decision Friday, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said class-action status should be given to the Arizona and Florida classes, too, and sent the case back to U.S. District Court for additional proceedings.
