Fernando Tatis, Jr. injured his shoulder, but he won’t need surgery:
Tatis suffered the latest injury to his troublesome left shoulder on a hard swing Monday and left San Diego’s loss to the San Francisco Giants. The Padres on Monday said Tatis had suffered a shoulder subluxation, which is a partial dislocation of the joint.
Preller said Tuesday further exams showed a slight labrum tear consistent with a subluxation but no inflammation. He said the injury is “non-surgical” and that the IL move is “just being safe.”
The Padres hope Tatis can return as quickly as 10 days.

Tatis does seem a bit fragile. We’ll see if that makes his long-term contract less valuable as time goes on.
