SAN DIEGO -- Half an inning after he took a 93 mph fastball off his left arm, Fernando Tatis Jr. was back out in right field, chasing after Willy Adames’ fly ball down the line. Favoring the sore right quad he’s been playing on for weeks, Tatis couldn’t quite make

SAN DIEGO -- It's been 7 1/2 months since Manny Machado underwent surgery on his right elbow. He still feels it. Some days, it barks when he hits. Some days it barks when he throws. He's not 100 percent. But as Machado is quick to remind just about anyone who
