Fernando Tatis Jr. is having another impressive season with the bat. The San Diego Padres outfielder has racked up 81 hits and 16 home runs in 282 at-bats, along with 14 stolen bases.
Now, Tatis Jr. could be in line to replace Arizona Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll at the 2023 All-Star game on Tuesday after the latter has been dealt with a shoulder injury.

Carroll looked in discomfort and exited the game, leaving doubts over his participation in the All-Star festivities. Incidentally, he dealt with discomfort in his right shoulder just a week earlier in an outing against the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Diamondbacks are yet to release a report on Carroll's injury and the MLB is yet to announce whether he will be replaced in the All-Star game.
Is Fernando Tatis Jr. set to replace Corbin Caroll at All-Star game?
Fernando Tatis Jr., who was initially snubbed for the All-Star game, might now find himself in contention to feature in the annual contest. He could replace the injured Carroll, who was named as a starter for the NL.
Tatis Jr. has been solid for the Padres this campaign. He also leads the MLB with 15 defensive runs saved in his first season as an outfielder.
Interestingly, Tatis Jr. has played in the All-Star game before in 2021. His performances this season certainly vouch for a spot on the NL roster despite the Padres' struggles.
