When will Fernando Tatis Jr. be added to MLB The Show Live Rosters? Latest news and updates

Thanks to Manny Machado, Fernando Tatis Jr. and Juan Soto, the San Diego Padres figure to be one of MLB the Show's most popular teams this time around. They're star-studded up and down the roster and a lot of gamers will probably use them.

However, for now, they're without Tatis. He's not on the live roster since he's not on the team's active roster in real life.

With Machado, Soto, Xander Bogaerts and others, they're still a good team, but they are truly going to be dominant in MLB the Show when they get Tatis added. When will that be? April 20.

That's when his 80-game PED suspension officially ends and he believes he'll be healthy when that happens and will immediately return to the lineup.

Why is Fernando Tatis Jr. not on MLB the Show live lineups?

MLB the Show mirrors the real-life teams with their live rosters. For example, the Philadelphia Phillies don't have Bryce Harper right now. The New York Yankees don't have Carlos Rodon and the Padres don't have Fernando Tatis.

When does Fernando Tatis Jr. get added to Padres live roster?

When he returns, the game will update and put him on the live rosters for the Padres. Until then, he can't be used, but he can be on a team with Diamond Dynasty or in Franchise mode with live rosters turned off.
