SAN DIEGO — The San Diego Padres were without star right-hander Fernando Tatis Jr., left-hander Juricson Profar and catcher Luis Camposano for their game Saturday against the NL-leading Milwaukee Brewers.
Shortly before the first pitch, Camposano was placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Friday, with a bruise on his left thumb. Camposano was scratched before Friday night’s game. The Padres recalled catcher Brett Sullivan from Triple-A El Paso.
Tatis suffered a bruise to his left triceps when he was hit by a pitch just above his elbow in the third inning of Friday night’s 9-5 win. He fell to one knee in pain and the trainer examined him.
Tatis ran the bases and took his position in right field for the next two innings. When it was his turn in the batting order in the fifth inning, he was replaced by Tyler Wade.
Manager Mike Shildt said the injury is not considered serious but that Tatis will be sore.
Tatis hit a 446-foot homer in Thursday night’s 7-6 win.
Profar left Friday’s game after scoring two goals in the seventh period. He has been suffering from patellar tendonitis in his left knee for several weeks.
David Peralta started in right field, Wade started in left field and Kyle Higashioka started at catcher on Saturday.
Right-hander Yu Darvish is scheduled to be activated from his second stint on the injured list on Tuesday and will start against the Washington Nationals, Shildt said.
