Fantasy baseball: How to handle the Fernando Tatis Jr. injury

Baseball fans of all stripes were pained to learn of Monday's injury to Fernando Tatis Jr. AP

When San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. left the field late Monday night, preciously holding his injured left shoulder in place, you can bet my first thought (not only as a fantasy baseball manager but also as a baseball fan), was that we had another Eloy Jimenez situation. Sure, they hurt their wings in vastly different ways, but we already know the Chicago White Sox outfielder is out until at least August -- and possibly all season. The Tatis injury looked bad ... very bad.
