SAN DIEGO — The
Gillaspie is 0-0 with a 3.24 ERA in seven appearances this year.
Also Thursday, star right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr., out since June 21 because of a stress reaction in his right thigh bone, ran sprints in the outfield and played long toss before the team’s game against the New York Mets.
Manager Mike Shildt said Tatis could take batting practice as soon as this weekend.
“He did some sprint work today, which is great — around 70%,” Shildt told reporters. “Which is a clear sign of progression. I did meet with him. We have a looser timetable now, but we won’t really share it. … But he’s definitely progressing to get back to play. It’s good news.”
