Tatis Jr. proving himself with his glove, too - AJ Cassavell
"He covers as much, if not more, ground than anyone else in the league at that position," Green said. "He has plenty of arm strength. Every single play, he's capable of making. Does he have the Freddy Galvis consistency at this point in time? No. But that's going to come, and he's actually been really, really consistent."

Padres OFs menacing after they lie in wait - AJ Cassavell
"We're winning games," said Wil Myers, the odd man out of the lineup against Arizona on Saturday night. "It's, ‘What do we have to do to keep winning?’ It's not about who's playing when. Every day, a situation's going to come up where we have a chance, whether it's pinch-hitting or starting or whatever it is. We've just bought into whatever we've got to do to win."
